After a six-week search, the Huddersfield Giants<\/a> appear to have found their man, and he’s coming from the other side of the world.<\/p>\n According to Love Rugby League, the Giants are in advanced discussions with former NRL<\/a> and Super League<\/a> halfback Daniel Holdsworth<\/a> about taking over as head coach.\u00a0<\/p>\n He is the club’s number one target to replace the recently dismissed Luke Robinson.<\/p>\n Holdsworth is currently embedded in the coaching setup at the Cronulla Sharks<\/a>, where he has worked under former Hull FC<\/a> player Craig Fitzgibbon<\/a> since 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n The current Sharks assistant was part of the Samoa<\/a> backroom staff that famously guided the Pacific nation to the 2022 World Cup Final, announcing himself as a serious coaching prospect on the international stage.<\/p>\n The 42-year-old was linked with the Castleford Tigers<\/a> head coaching vacancy last year before that role ultimately went to Ryan Carr<\/a>, suggesting his ambitions to lead a club have been no secret within the game.<\/p>\n Huddersfield have taken a patient approach since parting ways with Robinson six weeks ago, refusing to rush a decision around the head coaching job.\u00a0<\/p>\n They now believe they have identified the right man and are working to finalise a deal for Holdsworth to take charge for the remainder of this season and into the future.<\/p>\n
