Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire has committed to a contract extension that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2023 NRL season.<\/p>\n

The two-year extension, which will kick in from the start of the 2022 season, will see Maguire become the second-longest serving coach in the club's history, behind only former coach Tim Sheens who famously led the club to a premiership in 2005.<\/p>\n

After taking over from Ivan Cleary who departed for Penrith at the end of the 2018 season<\/a>, Maguire, who won a premiership with South Sydney in 2014, has finished in ninth and 11th place on the NRL ladder in his two seasons with the Tigers.<\/p>\n

Maguire said he's hopeful the improvement he's seen at the club will continue as the Tigers look to return to the finals for the first time since 2011.<\/p>\n

"I'm really pleased to be able to re-sign with Wests Tigers," Maguire said.<\/p>\n

"We've put a lot of work in over the last couple of years and I'm seeing plenty of change for the club to move forward in a big way.<\/p>\n

"We're all not happy with where we've been and everything we do now is about moving us forward towards a Premiership.<\/p>\n

"I love the people here and the passion around the organisation.<\/p>\n

"The more I see people with a connection Wests Tigers, the more I see the hunger for success. This is a massive club with an incredibly rich history, and we're all determined to grow this year into a really strong season."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
