Danny McGuire departs Castleford Tigers

Danny McGuire has departed Castleford Tigers.

Following a Board meeting on Monday, Castleford Tigers have confirmed the departure of Danny McGuire as Head Coach.

Chairman Martin Jepson commented:

“It has been a challenging season, but in particular, the result and performance in last week’s game against Huddersfield were hugely disappointing for me and everybody involved with the Club. The Board felt that a change of direction was therefore needed.

"I would like to put on record my thanks to Danny for his hard work at the Club over the past two years, both as an Assistant and Head Coach, and I wish him well in the future.”

Chris Chester will take over Head Coach duties on an interim basis with immediate effect.
