Newcastle Knights coach Wayne Bennett says he’ll see out the rest of the season with the club despite signing on with the Broncos for the next three years.
The statement (below) was released via the Knights website on Tuesday morning.
WAYNE BENNETT STATEMENT
As I was deciding on my future, the Brisbane Broncos weren’t in the equation until the Board recently contacted me.
I never thought I would be presented with the opportunity to return home and I appreciate the confidence the Board and owners have shown in me.
I am also extremely humbled by the coaching offers I received.
There has been much speculation and untruths written since I announced I was departing the Newcastle Knights.
I look forward to a successful relationship with CEO Paul White and continuing to grow and strengthen the Broncos’ brand when I join the Club for season 2015.
When I announced I was leaving Newcastle at season’s end, I stated I was committed to the Club and nothing has changed.
I will be making no further comment in relation to my future until season 2014 has concluded for both the Knights and Broncos.
