Leeds Rhinos have appointed Australian Brad Arthur as head-coach until the end of this season.
The 50-year-old is en-route to England and could attend tomorrow’s game at Warrington Wolves. He will work alongside current assistant-coaches Chev Walker and Scott Grix who have been in interim-charge for the past two games, since Rohan Smith stepped down last month. Arthur spent 10 seasons in charge at NRL side Parramatta Eels, coaching them for 264 games, including the 2022 Grand Final, before being sacked in May.
“We recently announced new contracts for 15 of our brightest young stars and Brad’s appointment gives us the opportunity to focus on the current season while I can continue to build our long term vision.” Rhinos go into Betfred Super League round 17 - of 27 - sitting seventh in the table, two points outside the play-offs. Commenting for the first time since his appointment, Arthur said: “I am pleased to be joining the Rhinos and can’t wait to get started.
