It was announced today that rugby league legend Danny McGuire will succeeded the recently dismissed Craig Lingard as head coach of the Castleford Tigers, signing a three-year deal with the West Yorkshire club.
McGuire’s coaching career has thus far been spent as an assistant to Lingard, as well as Tony Smith and Willie Peters at Hull KR, where he was also interim head coach following Smith’s dismissal in 2022.
The Tiger’s new owner and director, Martin Jepson, had this to say on the appointment:
“I am delighted to announce the appointment of Danny McGuire as Head Coach of Castleford Tigers. I am sure that Danny will be able to call on all his experience over many years in the game, for what will be his first Head Coach role.”
“I have been hugely impressed with Danny’s ambition, his determination, and his technical knowledge of the game and I look forward to working alongside him. I am also sure Danny will be able to help attract like-minded players to the Club as we continue to build for next season. Danny will be able to select and appoint an Assistant Coach.”
