✅ | 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 Hunslet RLFC are pleased to announce that former Featherstone Rovers assistant coach and former grade one RL referee Dave Merrick has joined Kyle Trout's coaching team. Dave commented "I'm really pleased to be able to join Kyle, Keith and Knoz on the coaching staff of such an historic club as Hunslet. "To be able to continue my coaching career since the sad demise of my former club, Featherstone Rovers, is something I'm really grateful for. I am currently the Head Coach of Ireland RL Under 19's and have been a former grade one refereee for over a decade. I will offer a different angle and hopefully help the lads improve in certain areas of the game." "The boys have welcomed me into the group, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they all progress over the year." #swsa
