Canterbury Bulldogs head of football Steve Price to leave the club

The off-field overhaul at the Canterbury Bulldogs has continued with former favourite son Steve Price relinquishing his role as head of football after little more than a year.

Canterbury have parted ways with club great Steve Price after just 12 months as the Bulldogs’ head of football.

Price, a life member of the club, stepped into the role in August last year, marking his official return to the Bulldogs in a full-time capacity since leaving the club at the end of 2004.

The former captain and premiership winner joined the Bulldogs board in 2018 but wanted a more hands-on role with the club. That dream has now evaporated.

His position has been under much conjecture since Canterbury’s season ended last month.

The move is part of more widespread changes which have occurred at Belmore in recent months. It has resulted in the coach, chairman, two other directors and now their head of football all leaving the club.

Price was appointed by former chair Lynne Anderson.

Coach Trent Barrett will officially take over as head coach next week. While the Bulldogs are trying to settle off the field, they are looking in a far better place on it with the additions of Kyle Flanagan, Nick Cotric and Jack Hetherington.

The Bulldogs remain in the market for another high quality recruit for next year. Matt Burton is their top priority but a 2022 arrival seems more probable
