It’s a “Dunn Deal…” - Hurricanes appoint Mark Dunning as Head Coach

The Hurricanes are delighted to announce the appointment of Mark Dunning as Head Coach for the club. Mark will take charge from Monday 5th of June following this weekend’s fixture against Doncaster at the Alexander Stadium. The blank week in the fixtures will give Mark two weeks with the team before the next match which will be away vs North Wales Crusaders.

Club Chief Exec Greg Wood said “We are over the moon with Mark’s appointment, and I am sure with his background and credentials in the game he will bring with him a high level of professionalism along with his undoubted technical and tactical knowledge which will drive us forward on the field. There’s no doubt we have a team and squad that is full of ability and potential and I firmly believe with Mark’s appointment he will be the man to bring that together and get us the results that have been alluding us so far this season.”

When speaking to Mark he expressed his excitement for the new role and that he can’t wait to be part of the storm… “I am looking to bring a professionalism and discipline to the club, some guidance and clarity to players and some connectivity to the whole club. What excited me most about the opportunity is the vision and understanding of the board with a realistic ambition and burning desire to succeed. I immediately understood and bought into all of this and I am looking forward to the journey ahead for everyone connected to the Hurricanes.”

Greg Wood also said “In the last couple of weeks Chris Cullimore has stepped in to fill the role for the club with support from Liam Welham. The pair have done a fantastic job and it was clear to see the lads have reacted well to their approach from the first half performance on Sunday where we matched Oldham however unfortunately the injuries we sustained so early on in the game meant it was a big ask in the second half with so many tired bodies out there. I personally would like to thank Chris, Liam and the players for their efforts over the last two weeks.”

The Hurricanes face up against Doncaster on Sunday at the Alexander Stadium. All tickets available on the gate (card only). We hope to see you there.
