White, who played first grade for the Magpies and Illawarra Steelers, will work with the Magpies’ new Ron Massey Cup coach, Nathan Waters, and General Manager Leo Epifania to groom the next generation of talent for both the Wests Tigers and Western Suburbs Magpies senior teams.
White’s appointment has been confirmed at the same time as coaching appointments for the South West Sydney Academy of Sport (SWSAS) junior representative sides were confirmed, following on from a successful trial day for the Magpies at Kirkham Park, Camden, last Saturday.
Wests’ preliminary squads for both the SG Ball and Harold Matthews competitions will be announced on Friday.
The Magpies welcome Josh back to the nest and look forward to a great 2015 season.
