In a move that has set the Rugby League world abuzz, former Betfred Super League star Richie Myler has taken on the prestigious role of director of rugby at Hull FC, following his retirement announcement.
The 33-year-old, who is no stranger to the fierce competition of the sport, is now on the hunt for a new head coach to lead the team to glory.
After bidding farewell to his playing days with the York Knights, where he faced some tough battles on the field, Myler has now set his sights on a new challenge with Hull FC.
The announcement came after York confirmed that the talented half-back had hung up his boots due to struggles with recovery from elbow surgery.
With a three-year deal in hand, Myler is poised to steer the ship for Hull FC, taking charge of crucial aspects such as rugby operations, recruitment, and coaching staff management for both the senior and academy teams.
It's a role that requires strategic thinking, tactical prowess, and a deep understanding of the game - qualities that Myler has honed over his illustrious career.
"I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to York Knights, especially to Clint Goodchild, for the opportunity they provided me and for their unwavering support as I transition into this new chapter as director of rugby at Hull FC," Myler shared, reflecting on his journey from player to leader.
Having donned the jerseys of England and Ireland on the international stage, Myler brings a wealth of experience and skill to his new role, garnered from successful stints with Warrington Wolves and Leeds Rhinos in the cutthroat arena of Super League.
As he gears up to shape the future of Hull FC, there's no doubt Myler will bring his A-game to the table, aiming to take the club to greater heights in the seasons to come.
