Brian Noble in talks with London Broncos over coaching role
Friday 13 March 2015 08:16, UK
Brian Noble could be set to return to coaching after revealing he is in discussions with Championship side London Broncos.
Former Great Britain boss Noble was sacked as Salford coach in April of last year and rejected the chance to become a director of football role at the Super League club.
The Broncos were relegated from Super League last year and last week coach Joey Grima stepped down, leaving Andrew Henderson in caretaker charge.
Noble, 54, has now revealed he in on the brink of taking a position with the capital club who have won two and lost two of their four league fixtures this season.
"There's an element of truth in the rumour. It's not done yet but I'm hoping it can be done," he told the BBC.
"I'm a big fan of Andrew Henderson. We've worked together and I like his talent as a coach.
"I think he should be the coach but if he needs my assistance in some way, I think it would be something I could probably do.
"We're clearly not over the line but we're in discussions."
He added: "I've always been a fan and an advocate of rugby league in the capital but there are challenges that come with that so it would be interesting to have a closer view of it and see what could be done."
