Media Release:
THE Brisbane Broncos have assembled a crack staff to support new head coach Ivan Henjak from the 2009 season onwards.
In a collection of rugby league minds that will balance the club’s culture with the cutting edge of modern sport, former Bronco greats and sports professionals of the highest order have been secured.
Dean Benton, who revolutionised the way the Broncos trained as he oversaw the team’s athletic endeavours during the club’s march to the 2006 premiership, will return to Brisbane as Performance Director.
Benton rejoins the Broncos after a stint with English rugby union club Leceister.
Backing up Benton’s expertise will be Andrew Croll and the already full-time strength coach Dan Baker and sports scientist Tim Gabbett.
Croll becomes the Athletic Performance Coach after excelling in his role as the Broncos’ elite player development strength and conditioning coach.
In a new structure, a host of brilliant former rugby league players will be Henjak’s right-hand men.
Allan Langer, Shane Webcke, Paul Green and Peter Ryan will all become full-time assistant coaches in specialist roles.
All four have played for the club and have held pivotal roles on the Broncos’ staff in recent years.
Broncos’ chief executive Bruno Cullen said he was looking forward to the new staff beginning their work in November.
“We are very pleased with the team we have put together,” he said.
“The club has been working on this for the past few weeks with the help of our new head coach Ivan Henjak.
“I am very confident we have assembled a highly-credentialed team to take us forward into a new period for the Broncos.”
