Former captain Paul McGregor has been appointed the head coach of the St George Illawarra Dragons for the next three National Rugby League seasons, the club said on Friday.
McGregor, who was the interim head coach of the Dragons following the sacking of Steve Price in June, was offered the role full-time.
Dragons CEO Peter Doust said the club board believed that McGregor was the right person to lead the Dragons over the next three seasons.
"We are very pleased to have been able to reach an agreement with Paul McGregor that will see him take on the head coach role full-time from next season," Doust said.
"Anyone who knows and speaks with Paul can clearly understand his passion for the Dragons, his honesty and drive to succeed."
The Dragons, who have won 10 of their 21 games this NRL season, are in 11th place and two points outside the top eight play-off positions with three rounds left to the finals.
