The Wakefield Wildcats today confirmed the departure of Head Coach James Webster due to mutual agreements with immediate effects. Stuart Dickens will take over as caretaker coach.
After just 11-months as Head Coach at the Wildcats, Webster leaves the side at the bottom of the Super League table with just 4 points. Webster also suffered a defeat in last weekend's Challenge Cup fixture, with his side losing to Leigh Centurions.
On the announcement, Wakefield Wildcats Chairman Michael Carter told the club's official website: "It is with a heavy heart that I have today agreed the release of James Webster from his position of Head Coach. James rescued us last season from the threat of relegation and for that I am truly thankful. I wish James and his family every success and happiness in the future, and thank him for all his hard work in his 4 years here."
