8 May
Summary
- Jim Lenihan appointed head coach following Luke Robinson's departure.
- Giants are currently bottom of Super League, with eight losses in ten games.
- Lenihan previously played for the Giants in 1999, making 21 appearances.
Huddersfield Giants have appointed Jim Lenihan as their new head coach, filling the vacancy left by Luke Robinson's departure on March 22, 2026. Lenihan, a former assistant for the Gold Coast Titans, brings a connection to the club from his playing days in 1999.
The Giants are currently the bottom team in Super League, having lost eight of their ten games this season. They are two points adrift at the foot of the table.
Robinson had replaced Ian Watson in 2024 and faced a difficult tenure, eventually guiding the club to 10th place last year despite financial limitations and injuries. Liam Finn temporarily managed the team, achieving notable wins before Lenihan's appointment.
