"They gained huge experience of what athletes need to do to make sustained progress in the training and competition environment.
"I am sure they will be a great asset to the team's future success.

"We have a successful track record of blending top domestic talent with our experienced international coaches and producing world class coaches.

Harvey represented Britain at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and won World Championship silver in the under-63 kilogram division in 2011.
