The former French rugby hooker and captain will join the reigning Meads Cup champions as an assistant coach for the upcoming Heartland Championship season.
Ibanez says he'll be arriving in New Zealand in July, a week out from Thames Valley's Ranfurly Shield challenge against holders Otago in Wanaka.
He says it's a great tradition and he doesn't want to miss it and it'll be a big occasion for Thames Valley.
