Craig Sandercock has been appointed the new Head of Rugby League for Wyong Roos Rugby League Football Club.
Wyong Leagues Group CEO Ben Coghlan said Sandercock was a highly qualified professional with a history of success working in a senior capacity with high profile teams and organisations.
“He brings excellent knowledge in practical sports management, education, and mentorship,” Coghlan said.
“Craig is an impressive individual who has an authority gained in positions that the Wyong Roos believe will allow him to contribute significantly from day one in his new position and to take the Wyong Roos rugby league program to a new level of professionalism.”
Sandercock’s pedigree in rugby league is impeccable.
He was NRL Assistant Coach with Canterbury Bulldogs 2021/22, Cronulla Sharks 2020, Wests Tigers 2016/19, Newcastle Knights 2010/11 and again in 2015.
He was ESL Head Coach in 2011/14 at Hull Kingston Rovers and Reserve Grade (Transition) Coach for Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in 2006/09.
More recently Sandercock was 2023/24 Women’s Head Coach and Pathways for Canterbury Bulldogs.
Coghlan said the hiring of such a high-calibre candidate to the role of Head of Rugby League underscored the significance the rugby league program holds within the Wyong Leagues Group.
“The Roos eagerly look forward to seeing Craig’s vision, strategy and direction being implemented over the coming years,” he said.
