WEST Bowling ARLFC have confirmed their new Club Head Coach ahead of the 2023 season.

Dean Muir will take the reigns for the Bradford side after previous Head Coach Ryan Hunkin departed to take on the Head of Youth role at Bradford Bulls.

Muir arrives with a wealth of experience having coached at Keighley Cougars for over a decade.

West Bowling Chairman, Michael Gorman, said “We’re delighted to have Dean on board, with his experience and enthusiasm, we hope he can continue the good work that has been done previously and help us to kick on to the next level.

"We hope everyone joins us in wishing Dean the best of luck in his new role."

Keighley Cougars commented: "Dean Muir has today been appointed as Head Coach of West Bowling RLFC. Dean will be working this role alongside his current position at Cougars (Assistant Rugby Coach), but will be working a reduced schedule within the club moving forward."
