FORMER Hull KR head coach Justin Morgan has thrown his hat into the rang for the Warrington Wolves job.
Warrington Wolves are in dire need of a new head coach following the departure of head coach Daryl Powell by mutual consent.
The former Castleford Tigers boss was shown the door after a horrendous 42-6 thrashing of bottom side Wakefield Trinity – a result which left Warrington in sixth place in the Super League table.
A number of names have been linked to the vacant position, including former St Helens Grand Final-winning coach Justin Holbrook whilst Newcastle Knights’ Adam O’Brien has also been mentioned.
Another man that is being linked with the role is ex-Hull KR head coach Justin Morgan and League Express can now reveal that the 47-year-old, who is currently an assistant coach to New Zealand Warriors main man Andrew Webster, has thrown his hat into the ring.
Upon Powell’s departure, Warrington chairman Stuart Middleton said: “We’d like to thank Daryl for his commitment and endeavours since joining the club last season but we feel the team now needs a different approach.
“Results and performances over the past 18 months have fallen short of the standard we expect and feel the club now needs to move in a new direction.
“We will now begin a thorough process to select a new Head Coach to take the club forward.
“We still firmly believe this playing group have the ability to compete at the highest level.”
