I don’t have live tool access right now to verify the very latest updates, but here’s what I can share based on recent public coverage up to now.
Jim Lenihan is a rugby league coach who recently took a head coaching role at Huddersfield Giants in Super League, with the appointment announced in May 2026 and his first match in charge set for mid-May 2026. This follows prior coaching experience including a stint with the Brisbane Tigers in Australia. This development places Lenihan back in English rugby league after his time in Australia.

Prior to the Huddersfield move, Lenihan had been associated with coaching roles in the Queensland Cup and as an assistant at various NRL clubs, including a notable coaching period with the Gold Coast Titans and work with the Titans’ development programs. These roles helped establish his reputation leading into the Giants appointment. [Zero Tackle profile and related NRL coverage] [Titans official and media coverage]
