Australia head coach Kevin Walters will step down from his role with the Kangaroos after taking up the head coach position at St Helens. Walters signed a three-season deal to lead the Super League club, also called Saints. Recent reports indicate the contract is valued at 2 million dollars.
The move concludes his time with the test side as he gets ready to take on his next stint in the Super League. St.Helens R.F.C. officially appointed the Australia boss as chief coach for the next three Super League seasons. The decision effectively wraps up his national team duties after confirming the deal for the new job.
