Warrington boss Steve Price lands new coaching role

Warrington head coach Steve Price will rejoin the Cronulla Sharks when he leaves the Wolves at the end of this year.

Price will be linking up with new Cronulla head coach Craig Fitzgibbon, with the current Warrington boss winning the premiership with the Sharks in 2016 as Shane Flanagan’s right-hand man.

A few clubs were said to be interested in Price, but Cronulla have secured his services.

“I’m really looking forward to working with Steve,” Fitzgibbon said.

“While we’ve known each other for some time, the opportunity to work together is an exciting one. The experiences he’s gathered and his love for the area and club were hard to ignore.

“I thought Steve’s experience in the NRL and in the Super League as a head coach, added to the fact he was an assistant in the 2016 Sharks premiership, would be an asset for myself, Josh and Daniel and we look forward to pushing each other and developing as a coaching team.”
