Former Wigan Warriors assistant Lee Briers set for Super League return as Brisbane Broncos confirm exit

Brisbane Broncos assistant coach Lee Briers is set to leave the club, sources confirmed. The experienced coach has been linked to a return to the Super League, where he previously made a name for himself as a player and coach.

Briers, who joined the Broncos in 2020, has been an integral part of the team’s coaching staff, working closely with head coach Kevin Walters. However, it is understood that he has been presented with an opportunity to return to the Super League, where he spent the majority of his playing and coaching career.

The news comes as a surprise to many, given Briers’ success with the Broncos. During his tenure, the team has shown significant improvement, and his contributions have been widely acknowledged. However, the lure of returning to his roots and being closer to family and friends is believed to have played a significant role in his decision.

Briers’ departure will be a significant loss for the Broncos, who have come to rely on his expertise and guidance. His experience and knowledge of the game have been invaluable to the team, and his absence will be felt. However, the Broncos have a talented coaching staff, and they are well-equipped to continue their progress without him.

The Super League has undergone significant changes in recent years, and Briers’ return would be a welcome addition to the competition. His experience and success in the league make him an attractive prospect for several clubs, and it is likely that he will be in high demand.

Briers’ playing career was marked by success, playing for teams like Wigan Warriors and Leigh Centurions. He was a talented halfback, known for his vision and leadership on the field. After retiring, he transitioned into coaching, working with several clubs in the Super League, including Wigan Warriors and Huddersfield Giants.

His coaching career has been marked by success, and he is widely regarded as one of the top coaches in the Super League. His ability to develop players and improve team performance has earned him a reputation as a master tactician.

The news of Briers’ departure has been met with mixed emotions from fans and players alike. While many are sad to see him go, they understand the opportunity that has presented itself and wish him well in his future endeavors.

As the Broncos prepare for life without Briers, they can take comfort in knowing that they have a talented coaching staff and a team capable of achieving great things. The Super League, on the other hand, can look forward to welcoming back a coaching legend, who is sure to make an impact upon his return.
