Toronto Wolfpack were on the prowl for England coach Eddie Jones

Former director Brian Noble tells TRP there was ‘definitely’ interest from the Wolfpack

Eddie Jones

coach was the subject of an approach from Super League Toronto Wolfpack to make a cross-code switch after the late last year.

The ambitious Canadian side are owned by David Argyle, a billionaire mining magnate who made Sonny Bill Williams the highest-paid player in the world last year.

Outgoing Wolfpack football director Brian Noble admits that an approach was made to Jones to make him a global ambassador for the club – but he opted to remain with England.

Noble said: “There is a bit of truth behind that, absolutely. Eddie was sought after. There’s a big presence in the country.

“To have an ambassadorial role at the Wolfpack in relation to promoting them right across the world, wouldn’t be a bad thing.”
