Wolves coach Sam Burgess explains how his friendship with Middleton has become an ‘asset’ for the club
Sky Sports viewers may have been surprised to see former special forces commando, author, podcaster and television star Ant Middleton in Warrington’s coaching box on Sunday, as they registered a tense win over London Broncos at Plough Lane.But the bond and Middleton’s impact goes beyond the realm of reality television. After Burgess was appointed Warrington boss late last year, where he became the youngest coach in.
Burgess was known as a great leader during his career as a fearsome forward, now the 35-year-old is using Middleton regularly to influence himself and his players as they ready for Magic Weekend and a clash with Leeds Rhinos at Elland Road. The ex-Bradford Bulls and South Sydney enforcer believes Middleton has qualities his players can learn from as they look to break Wolves’ 69-year championship drought.“Forever and day when I played there was that link between the military and team sport, our sport anyway,” Burgess says. “And there are a lot of similarities. The personality types are very similar, very sort of driven individuals, they understand group stuff, relying on each other, courage, trust.
