Ian Millward has been named as the next Castleford Tigers coach.
The 51-year-old Australian currently coaches Leigh Centurions but will succeed Terry Matterson, who will step down from his position with the Tigers at the end of the season.
"We have been very impressed with Ian and his approach to the task and challenge of taking the Tigers to the next level," said Castleford chief executive Richard Wright.
"His CV speaks volumes. He is constantly monitoring new developments and techniques in both the English and Australian games and has ideal contacts in terms of sports science which is becoming increasingly important."
Millward last coached in the Super League with Wigan, before he was sacked in 2006.
