Brad Arthur, the seasoned coach, is on the verge of committing to a new contract, deflecting the rumors linking him to a move to the Newcastle Knights to work alongside his close mate Adam O'Brien.
After a bumpy start to the season which saw him axed by the Parramatta Eels, Arthur seized an opportunity overseas in the Super League with the Leeds Rhinos.
He has since steered the team to two crucial victories in their last four matches, keeping their hopes alive for a spot in the finals.
Arthur's stint in Leeds was a welcome change of scenery after his unceremonious exit from the Eels, where a string of lackluster performances led to his departure.
Despite taking the Eels to the NRL Grand Final just two years prior, Arthur found himself looking for a new challenge after spending an impressive 11 years as the head coach of the team.
The reins will now be handed over to Jason Ryles for the upcoming season.
Having initially signed a short-term deal with the Leeds Rhinos, Arthur is now poised to extend his stay in the Super League with a long-term contract on the horizon, as reported by News Corp.
The seasoned coach is set to continue his coaching journey overseas, potentially paving the way for new opportunities with the Perth Bears in the future.
