In what was a tremendous debut season as Wests Tigers NRLW Head coach, Craig Sandercock has seen his contract extended by the club long-term.
Sandercock’s new deal runs until the end of the 2030 season on the back of the club qualifying for the NRLW finals for the first time.
Wests Tigers CEO Shaun Mielekamp is excited to see Sandercock stay on as Tigers NRLW coach.
“Sandy has done a remarkable job with our NRLW program and thoroughly deserves the opportunity to continue building on what the group has achieved,” Mielekamp said.
He’s a great character, a great person to have around the Club and someone who has played a significant role in establishing the foundations for our future success.
“Having him locked in until 2030 gives us enormous confidence in the direction of the program.”
The Wests Tigers club means a lot to Sandercock so the opportunity to extend his deal was an easy one for him.
“Wests Tigers is my club. I’ve got a family history here and I’ve been involved in different capacities over the years, so it’s a place that means a lot to me,” Sandercock said.
“From the day I arrived, the support from everyone across the Club has been unbelievable. I’m really excited about the opportunity to continue building something special here.”
Sandercock backs his players and the club to do even better, as he believes they are just getting started.
“We’re only scratching the surface of what we can achieve with this program,” Sandercock continued.
“There’s a real commitment across the Club to developing our players, strengthening our Pathways and building a system that can deliver sustained success.
