APPOINTMENT OF THE GIANTS NEW HEAD COACH

Huddersfield Giants are delighted to announce the appointment of Luke Robinson as Head Coach on a three year contract

Huddersfield Giants are delighted to announce the appointment of Luke Robinson as Head Coach of the Huddersfield Giants on a three year contract.

 

Having had a fantastic career representing Wigan, Castleford, Salford and of course Huddersfield, Luke also played Internationally for England between 2004 and 2012.  It is of course at the Giants that Luke has spent the vast majority of his career having joined us in 2008. He retired from playing in 2016 but has stayed with the clubs coaching staff until the present day.

 

The Club received applications from some outstanding candidates but the Board felt strongly that Luke was the man to take us forward. His commitment to the Giants, his rugby philosophy, his vision for the future and of course his tenacity and unrelenting drive for success which served him so well as a player, all marked him out as the right man for the role.

 

Luke Robinson said, "I am beyond honoured to have been offered the Head Coach role and to have the support of Ken and the rest of the Board. We've not had a great season but I hope that the fans can see the amount of effort the players have given me over the past few weeks and when we have our injured players back in contention and have made a few personnel changes I truly believe we can have a great pre-season and really hit the ground running. At this point though my focus is on ending the season well in our last three games and giving the fans the excitement I feel about heading into the 2025 campaign. The response from the players has been outstanding and I must also thank them for having the faith in me to lead them into this new chapter for the club".

 

Giants owner Ken Davy said, "We are delighted to appoint Luke and see him as having enormous potential as our Head Coach. Its no secret that the investment made into the Giants over the years has been significant and whilst not achieving the success we would have wanted, I am committed to doing my best for the fans and the Club as a whole and believe that we can take the steps needed to improve our performances, both on and off the field. This is the first step and I'm already looking forward with real excitement to the new season ahead".

 

All of us at the Giants wish our new Head Coach, Luke Robinson, every success and would ask our fans to get behind him as we enter the closing stages on the 2024 Super League season.
