Steve McCormack

Steve McCormack

Steve McCormack is the head coach of National League One club Widnes Vikings.

His first coaching appointment had been at Salford City Reds, who made him the youngest coach in Super League at the age of just 28 in 2001 but was sacked just 10 months later.

He won NL1 Coach of the Year having twice taken Whitehaven to the Grand Final but losing to Leigh Centurions (2004) and Castleford Tigers (2005) to miss out on promotion to Super League.

He was appointed coach of Widnes after the club's relegation from Super League in 2005 and the subsequent departure of Frank Endacott. In his first season with Widnes Vikings he led the club to the National League One grand final where they subsequently lost to Hull KR.

During the 2007 season McCormack won the Northern Rail Cup beating his old side Whitehaven 56-6 in the final at Blackpool. McCormack was soon after rewarded with a new 2 year contract keeping him with Widnes Vikings until the end of the 2009 season.

Widnes failed to gain promotion to Super League losing out to Castleford in the 2007 NL1 Grand Final. In October 2007 Steve McCormack left Widnes Vikings and joined Hull Kingston Rovers as assistant coach to Justin Morgan. However, nine days later after leaving Widnes, Steve returned as head coach with a new set up after Steve O'Connor took over the club.

He has been named his Scotland training squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup.cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/7587971.stm|title=Henderson trio in Scots cup squad|publisher=BBC|date=2008-08-29|accessdate=2008-10-03]
