WORLD champions Hull KR have confirmed the appointment of Nathan Cayless as coach for the next three years.
He replaces Willie Peters who is off to the PNG Chiefs to be their inaugural NRL coach.
“Hull KR is the right coaching opportunity for me and I am grateful,” Cayless, 48, was quoted as saying on the club’s website.
“I’ve been coaching rugby league within NRL systems since 2014, starting in pathways and development, moving through to head coach of NSW Cup, NRL assistant coach roles and as an international assistant coach with the New Zealand Kiwis.
“My rugby league coaching philosophy aligns with the hardworking, successful culture that exists at Hull KR.
“When CEO Paul Lakin and I first spoke, we connected immediately via our alignment on the vision and philosophies required to produce sustained success on and off the field.
“The club’s clarity in sharing the journey to where it is today was integral to my understanding of the professionalism, structure, and strong leadership within the club.
“Under my leadership as head coach, the supporters can expect to see a group of players that continually put the team and club first, chase constant improvement, and execute the fundamentals of the game at the highest of standards consistently.
“Throughout my playing career I developed values of honesty, integrity and hard work.”
