Danny Ward is the bookmakers’ favourite to take over as Leeds Rhinos' new head coach. The Rhinos are on the lookout for a new man to take the reins after Richard Agar stood down from the position on Monday morning.
Agar had been in the role for almost three years, but after seeing his side win one of their opening six Super League games this season he made the decision to resign from his position. Agar still has a future at Headingley, though, and he has been tipped to be a long-term successor to Kevin Sinfield as Leeds’ director of rugby.
The Rhinos have started the hunt for a new head coach and a number of candidates will be considered while Jamie Jones-Buchanan takes charge on an interim basis. Former London Broncos boss Ward is the favourite with Betfred at this early stage with the bookmaker offering odds as short as 2/1.
