Whitehaven have confirmed player/coach Carl Forster has signed a new two-year deal with the club.
Forster, 25, was appointed as the club’s head coach ahead of the season and has guided them to a second-placed finish in League 1 at the end of the regular season.
The former Salford man has also had a big influence on the field, scoring 11 tries in 18 appearances this season so far.
Over the moon to be the club for another 2 years. Thanks to the board and players for making it such a easy decision. On to Sunday now ?❤️
