St George Illawarra Dragons have appointed Anthony Griffin as head coach for at least the next two seasons.

Griffin will take over the coaching reins ahead of the 2021 NRL campaign, having last coached Penrith Panthers in 2018.

Griffin said: “There is no doubt that St George Illawarra is one of the biggest and proudest clubs in the game and I am excited to commence my role as coach later in the year.

“While results may not have gone in the club’s favour in recent years, I see many a positive in the playing squad and the current crop of juniors currently coming through the ranks.

“My goal is a simple one, to ensure the Dragons are a club that every member, partner and fan can be proud of moving forward.”
