Broadbent confirmed as Whitehaven’s assistant coach

Whitehaven RLFC have confirmed that Gary Broadbent has returned to the club as assistant coach until the end of the 2016 season.

Broadbent played for the club between 2003-2008 and has returned to team up with James Coyle in an attempt to push the club further up the Kingstone Press Championship.

Whitehaven chairman Tom Todd is happy with the appointment and believe his experience in the sport can be vital. 

“His contacts within the game and his respect within amateur circles will help us invaluably,” Todd said.

“We are delighted he is back at the club and we know he will once again be a fans favourite. The club would also like to put on record their appreciation to the Vice Presidents/Haven Horizon group for their financial contribution in making this happen.”
