Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 3181746, member: 1808"] It's official - video interview in link [URL]https://www.broncos.com.au/news/2020/09/30/kevin-walters-appointed-brisbane-broncos-coach2/[/URL] The Brisbane Broncos have confirmed Kevin Walters as the Club’s Head Coach for the next two years. Walters, a former Broncos Captain and five-time Premiership winner with the Club, will start in the role in coming weeks as preparations ramp up for the 2021 preseason. The 52-year-old, born in Rockhampton, has signed a two-year contract through to the end of the 2022 season. Walters returns to the Broncos having been Queensland State of Origin Coach for the past four series. Prior to that he had been an Assistant Coach with the Broncos and Melbourne Storm, as well Coach of the Toowoomba Clydesdales and Ipswich Jets in the Queensland Cup, and two seasons as Head Coach of Catalans Dragons in the English Super League. Walters, one of the first players ever to be inducted in the Broncos Hall Of Fame, said he was thrilled to be given the opportunity as Head Coach. “I love the Brisbane Broncos – this Club is part of who I am and it feels like I am coming home’” said Walters. “I’ve put in a lot of work over the past 15 years to learn and gain the experience that’s required to succeed in this role, so I feel that I’m ready. “I’m looking forward to getting into the building and starting work on preparations for the 2021 preseason.” Brisbane Broncos Chairman Karl Morris said Walters was a strong choice to guide a playing squad containing a host of emerging talent. “Kevin has played the game at the highest level and as a coach demonstrates a passion and ability to communicate and connect with his teams,” said Morris. “He has a track record of getting the best out of his players regardless of age or experience, and the Board saw that as a key element for where we are at as a Club. “You don’t get any more “Bronco” than Kevin Walters – we believe he is the right choice at this time in the Club’s history to lead our team into the future.” [/QUOTE]
