Brilliant appointment of Kieron Purtill as assistant coach starting next season, he has a great reputation as a coach. It is also nice to see former players back at the club.

Pity he is not available immediately.

A great bit of business again from the club.

Superb appointment. We'll done to everyone involved.

Fantastic and certainly shows in big bold letters Derek's intentions for player pathway etc with someone as highly regarded as Kieron joining the team..

Surprised he is not coming back as coach...or maybe he will be!

Top coach is Kieron. Great appointment.

Strange one, coming below Jukes considering his experience.

Great addition to the club.

A top addition to the coaching team.

A very positive addition to the Club, he has been assistant to a couple of good Coaches and knows the score and the game inside out.

Now that Kieron has been relieved of his duties at Huddersfield, how likely is it that he will commence his coaching role at Leigh earlier than expected? His knowledge and experience could be priceless come the Middle 8's.

One would hope so, it would depend on his severance agreement.
