GLENN Morrison has extended his contract as head coach of Dewsbury Rams until the end of the 2017 season.

Morrison, who joined the Rams ahead of the 2013 campaign – succeeding another former Bulls player in Warren Jowitt – has overseen a number of changes to the Championship club and a gradual advance at The Tetley's Stadium.

The 39-year-old former Wakefield Trinity Wildcats Academy coach said: "We've played well and improved each year.

"The chairman said on Sunday that the club's now not thinking about relegation at the start of every season."

Morrison, who has also coached The Exiles, added: "It is about achieving success and, although we've done well, there's the potential to get even better.

"I suppose at clubs like Dewsbury, it's a lot of work and you come up against tough conditions.

"However, I think I have come a long way and we've looked at maybe creating that second team and we've made big decisions at the club, like bringing through the youth.

"I'm delighted to extend my contract and excited about the challenges."
