Leeds Rhinos legend Danny McGuire has joined near-neighbours Castleford Tigers.
McGuire, an eight-time Grand Final winner with Leeds, will be assistant to former Batley Bulldogs boss Craig Lingard who has been appointed as Tigers’ head-coach. McGuire left a similar role with Hull KR at the end of their 2023 Betfred Super League campaign, while Lingard spent part of last season as an assistant at Castleford, alongside his duties in charge of Batley. He is Tigers’ fourth coach in less than a year.
He added: “I’m still fairly early on into my coaching journey, with loads to learn and experience, so I’m excited to be working alongside somebody who has achieved so much in the game. I’ll be picking his brains and hopefully we can gel really well and work well as a combination.” Lingard said he is “massively honoured” to take the Tigers hot seat. He insisted: “Something I’ve always aspired to be is a head-coach in Super League and I’ve got that opportunity now.
