SALFORD have confirmed that Kurt Haggerty will replace Paul Rowley as head coach of the Betfred Super League side from the start of the 2026 season.
St Helens-based Haggerty, currently assistant coach at the club, will step up after Rowley revealed earlier this week that he will be taking on the director of rugby role.
Haggerty, who started his coaching career at local community club Pilkington Recs, said: “When I joined the club back in 2022, there was a clear strategy, vision and legacy being implemented for the future of the club.
“It’s great to see the club moving in the right direction and it’s a very exciting time to be a part of the organisation.”
Haggerty has previously held assistant coach roles at Toronto Wolfpack and Leigh, where he also held the position of interim head coach in 2021.
