Briers will add an international flavour to the Broncos, having spent a quarter-decade stretch at Warrington in the English Super League – 16 years as a player in the halves and a further eight years as part of the Coaching staff to the end of 2021. He will join the Broncos from the Wigan Warriors where he has been Assistant Coach of the Super League outfit this season as they sit second on the table. In his playing career, Briers made 425 Super League appearances and was Warrington’s all-time points scorer with 2,586 points. As a player, he spent five years as club captain and won three Challenge Cups, including the Lance Todd Trophy in 2010. Retiring from playing in 2013, Briers slotted straight into a coaching role, assisting the U19s and Reserves grades before stepping up as Steve Price’s Assistant Coach in 2018, seeing the Wolves lift the Challenge Cup in 2019. At International level, Briers made a sole appearance for Great Britain as well as 18 caps for Wales, scoring 77-points for the Dragons and also captaining the side for a small period of time. The Welshman appeared in one World Cup in 2000.
