Australia Coach Walters Heading to St Helens After World Cup
Walters will stay with Australia through the Rugby League World Cup before taking over St Helens on a three-year contract.
- On Thursday, St Helens confirmed the appointment of Australian Kangaroos head coach Kevin Walters on a three-year deal, with his contract beginning after the Rugby League World Cup.
- Walters will lead Australia through the World Cup before departing for England, marking his return to full-time club coaching following his controversial exit from the Brisbane Broncos at the end of 2024.
- St Helens aims to build around star player Tristan Sailor, whom Walters previously coached at Brisbane; Sailor has played all 59 games for the Saints but never started the same position more than 27 times.
- Walters said, "I look forward to being a part of Super League in 2027 with the Saints," emphasizing his goal to blend coaching experience into the winning culture of the club.
- Chairman Eamonn McManus described the signing as a major statement of ambition for St Helens, as Walters replaces former coach Paul Rowley who departed last month.
