Former Hull FC Head Coach Lee Radford has accepted a new role as defensive coach for Dallas Jackals in Major League Rugby in America.
The Jackals are a new franchise in the division, and will be headed by former Northampton Saints and Ulster player Allan Clarke.
Radford was sacked by Hull FC in March, following their 38-4 defeat to Warrington Wolves. It was one of the final Super League matches to be played before the suspension of the game.
“I’m really excited to take such an opportunity. It’s the path I wanted my career to take and to do it in the States, I’m extremely grateful for,” Radford told Sky Sports.
“Working alongside Allen Clarke, Phil Camm and Elaine Vassie, I can’t wait to develop as a coach and putting a really solid foundation in place for the club moving forward.”
