REUNION AT THUNDER
NEWCASTLE THUNDER have reunited ex-Widnes duo Denis Betts and Eamon O'Carroll, after the latter was named as Simon Finnigan's successor as head coach.
After a 12-year Super League career with Wigan, Hull FC and Widnes, O'Carroll (right) joined the Vikings' coaching staff alongside Betts in 2017 when he was forced to retire from playing through injury.
The six-time Irish international has most recently worked under Steve McNamara at Super League side Catalans Dragons and now moves to Kingston Park on a twoyear deal. "Eamon fits in to our club brilliantly," said director of rugby Betts, who has also signed a new two-year deal with the club.
