The Dragons are excited to announce that Daniel Anderson will join the club as Head of Recruitment and Pathways.
As an NRL coach, Anderson coached the Warriors to their first finals series in 2001 and first Grand Final appearance in 2002. He took the Eels to a Grand Final in 2009 and also had great success in the Super League.
As St Helens coach he won the 2006 and 2007 Challenge Cup titles and reached three successive Super League Grand Finals, taking home the trophy in 2006 and going on to claim the 2007 World Club Challenge against the Broncos.
A highly-respected judge of rugby league talent, Anderson has spent the past six years at the Roosters as their head of recruitment.
“We are excited to welcome Daniel to the Dragons,” said Dragons CEO Tim Watsford.
“We undertook an extensive search that crossed the game, broader sporting industry and varying stakeholders. Daniel was a standout with regard to credentials, cultural fit and an eye to support the coaching team and wider football department in delivering success through talent identification.
“Recruitment and Pathways for the Dragons is a broad, wide-reaching and integral role. With two new teams entering the competition and the premiership never being closer, it’s important to secure key football appointments now that generate momentum as we build a robust future.
“Daniel possesses the knowledge, skill set and temperament to implement long-lasting systems to develop, identify and recruit talent to succeed at the top level."
