The Sydney Roosters have won the signature of former Titans coach Justin Holbrook, who is officially on the move to Bondi.
The sought-after coach, who was sacked by the Titans in June, has inked a three-year deal with the tri-colours from 2024.
He’ll join the club as an assistant to Trent Robinson, knocking back a hefty offer to coach Warrington in the English Super League.
Holbrook admits he was close to packing his bags for the UK, but says the move back to the Roosters was the right one for him and his family.
“My decision to go with the Roosters was my personal knowledge of the Club and how professional they are,” he said.
“Having very good people that are well-qualified in their roles makes the world of difference to coaches, and knowing Robbo well and how he will challenge me to add value to the Club made this decision make sense to me.
“I must say I was all but gone to England to join the Warrington Wolves who were terrific to deal with, but it just wasn’t right for my family, so again when I spoke to Trent and Nick and understood the role I would play, I felt the Roosters were the right choice.
“Now it’s all done, I am looking forward to doing what I love, and that’s coaching”.
Holbrook will officially take up his role with the Roosters at the start of the 2024 pre-season later this year.
