Sandercock signs new deal

Hull KR head coach Craig Sandercock has agreed a one-year extension to his contract.

Sandercock, 44, has been in charge at MS3 Craven Park since 2012 and Rovers CEO Mike Smith is delighted to retain the services of the Australian.

“As a coach he lives and breathes the game and is rarely away from the training pitch or his desk,” said Smith.

“The players themselves will tell you that his attention to detail is second to none and a lot of the one on one work he has done with individuals is starting to bear fruit.”

Before arriving in England, Sandercock spent time with NRL clubs Newcastle Knights and Manly Sea Eagles.
