London Broncos have appointed former Hull KR star Rhys Lovegrove as assistant coach.
Lovegrove led Keighley Cougars to promotion in 2022 with an unbeaten season.
The Broncos made the following statement:
“Rhys joins us as Assistant Coach for the Men’s First Team and will work alongside Director of Rugby and Performance Mike Eccles.
“Full Story and Interview to be released tomorrow!
“Welcome back to London Rhys!”
Recently, Keighley Cougars announced that they had parted company with Lovegrove with immediate effect.
CEO Ryan O’Neill said: “We would like to thank Rhys for his commitment and service to the club and it is disappointing that results have not reflected the hard work and commitment that he has undoubtedly shown. He leaves with our very best wishes.”
Rhys Lovegrove said: “Having been at the club 4 years it has been a honour and privilege to lead the club as head coach. I would like to thank the performance staff, some often going above and beyond, and the players and I wish all concerned the very best for the future.”
Assistant Coach and Jamaica International, Jy-mel Coleman will take over as head coach on an interim basis with the support of Jordie Hedges, Dean Muir and Jake Webster who steps up as Director of Rugby.
