ANDREW Henderson's next role in rugby league has been confirmed having left Warrington Wolves.

The former Wire assistant coach, who left at the end of the season following four seasons working under Steve Price, has been appointed as head of rugby at League One side Keighley Cougars.

“I’m delighted to be joining a club that is ambitious and looking to develop such as Keighley," he told the Cougars' official website.

“My main focus as Head of Rugby will be to oversee the Rugby League department of the club.

“I will be working very closely with the Head Coach Rhys Lovegrove in regards to recruitment and retention of the playing squad and I will certainly be there to advise, guide, and sometimes challenge him on those decisions.

“My role will also involve overseeing the performance department and putting infrastructures and systems in place to improve how we operate as well as supporting the players individually and helping to develop the coaches we have at a club.

“The Rugby department will be the main focus of my role, but I will also be on hand to assist the club in other areas such as the community side and commercially.

“I’m very excited to get started and massively looking forward to the year ahead when hopefully we will achieve something very special in the 2022 season.”
