Luke Robinson: Huddersfield Giants appoint ex-half-back as head coach

Huddersfield Giants appoint Luke Robinson as their head coach on a three-year deal following a spell as interim boss.

Formerly an England international, Robinson made 228 appearances for Huddersfield prior to the end of his playing career in 2015.

The job he inherits will come with some notable challenges, notably in terms of recruitment, following two seasons of underachievement, and re-energising supporters with the performances and results on the field.

Only a lack of experience as a head coach outright would be a concern for Robinson, but he has twice held interim roles before, including his present stint, and has had to embed himself during difficult scenarios.
