Tomkins Steps Down as Dragons Coach
14 Apr
Summary
- Joel Tomkins resigned from Catalans Dragons coaching role.
- Personal reasons and family time cited for departure.
- Ryan Sheridan now interim head coach with support.
Joel Tomkins has resigned from his position as head coach of the Catalans Dragons, a role he held for just under a year. Tomkins cited personal reasons and the difficulty of prolonged separation from his family as the primary factors behind his decision to step down.
Tomkins had initially taken on the interim coaching role following Steve McNamara's departure, before being appointed permanently. His recent absences from the team's fixtures had fueled speculation about his future with the club. The Dragons are currently sixth in the Super League table.
Moving forward, Ryan Sheridan has been appointed as the interim head coach. He will be assisted by Micky McIlorum and Mitchell Pearce. Their first match in charge will be against the top-ranked Warrington Wolves on April 18.
