St Helens confirm ‘formal’ Paul Rowley exit as next move looms

St Helens have officially confirmed the formal departure of head coach Paul Rowley, 70 days after he was initially removed from his duties. Rowley had managed only 19 Super League matches of a three-year contract before being stood down on the eve of a clash against Wigan Warriors.

The formal resolution means Rowley has settled an exit package and concluded his gardening leave, making him a free agent to coach elsewhere. The report notes that Castleford Tigers view Rowley as a prime candidate to succeed Ryan Carr as their next head coach.
