Wakefield call on Monaghan

WAKEFIELD have appointed former Raiders and Sea Eagles playmaker Michael Monaghan as their new assistant head coach.

The Australian spent last season in the same role at Super League rivals Catalans Dragons after spending six seasons as a player at Warrington.

Monaghan joint-interim head coach with former France international Jerome Guisset when Laurent Frayssinous left the club in May, before reverting to an assistant on the appointment of Steve McNamara.
