\n Senior, now 49, arrives with an outstanding pedigree both as a player and coach \u2013 most recently assisting Bulls legend Brian Noble in the Odsal dugout in 2025.\n<\/p>\n
\n His illustrious 18-year playing career began with Sheffield Eagles before he became a central figure in one of Leeds Rhinos\u2019 most successful eras, lifting multiple major honours across a trophy-laden 12 years at Headingley.\n<\/p>\n
\n On the international stage, he represented England and Great Britain a combined 43 times, scoring 14 tries.\n<\/p>\n
\n After nine years on the Sheffield Eagles coaching staff, he left the club at the end of the 2024 season and spent 2025 working under Noble as Bradford achieved a third-placed finish in the Betfred Championship.\n<\/p>\n
\n Speaking about his appointment to Hunslet\u2019s official website, Senior shared his excitement at joining a club with deep historical roots and a passionate supporter base.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: \u201cI\u2019m absolutely thrilled to be taking up the role of Director of Rugby at Hunslet RLFC.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThis club has a proud history, a passionate community, and a deep connection to the roots of rugby league, and it\u2019s a privilege to be part of that.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cStepping into this role gives me the opportunity to help drive forward the club\u2019s and the fans\u2019 ambition for long-term success.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI\u2019m excited to get started, to work with the coaching staff, players, community and the wider Hunslet family, and to build a strong, competitive, and sustainable rugby environment.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThere\u2019s a real sense of potential here, and I\u2019m looking forward to playing my part in taking this club to the next level.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Senior\u2019s appointment marks another significant step in Hunslet\u2019s plans to develop a resilient, forward-thinking structure both on and off the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Senior, now 49, arrives with an outstanding pedigree both as a player and coach \u2013 most recently assisting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":582092,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4102],"tags":[4151,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-582091","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115580885234234574","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=582091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582091\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/582092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=582091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=582091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=582091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
