KEIGHLEY COUGARS have decided not to go ahead with a coaching contract for Anthony Murray, despite reports that the former Workington Town boss was to be offered a two-year deal, League Express can exclusively reveal.
Murray was expected to take up the coaching reins at Cougar Park on December 1 after two seasons at Workington, but now the Cougars have reconsidered that deal.
Instead, interim coach Jake Webster, who is still effectively Keighley’s director of rugby, will take the job on a permanent basis in a surprise twist.
Webster is said to be enjoying his time as number one with the Cougars and now Keighley have decided to hand him the reins on a permanent basis.
