I was told last night by an ex player that still has some involvement with the club that Longy is defo coming back.

Give Koukash some credit, he took him back at at time when he had messed up again, and no one else seemed willing to take risks with him!

Yes some credit has to go to the Dr for taking him in again, I just hope Saints thank the Dr & Salford for releasing him to us.

According to the Salford site, he was out of contract anyway.

Pinched from other site

Yeh, he's already coaching the u19's

It will be interesting to see how our attack differs in 2015. Cunningham has looked after this area for a while so the addition of Burns and Long should give us a different look

rlSeems to be properly official now.rl

I'm very excited by this. Sean was responsible for developing the slick attack of the Smith, Holdsworthh, Patten midfield triangle at Salford, which in turn has been a major factor into SL's redevelopment of the attacking fullback role (IMO).
Phil Veivers plonk all the praise for that attack at Long's door. If he can do that at Salford with Smith, Holdsworth and Patten, imagine what he can do with Walsh, burns and Lomax when they're supported by the Saints pack and 3/4s.

Plus, he might help give us a bit more attitude on match day. Long was (amongst many things) a winner on the pitch, hopefully that can rub off a little.

Long confirmed 2yr contract.

Welcome back Sean. I genuinely still love you with all my heart. Just keep it that way, no leaving the club under a cloud.

This was on my wish list early last season, Longy has had many highs and lows and has recovered well from the low points in his career. He will have a massive influence on everyone at the club and I,m sure he is going to give it his best shot.
The only concern is how long it will take to get everyone singing off the same hymn sheet.

Welcome home Longy!

I would say that came from Michael Maguire at Wigan, because it came from Australia, Melbourne in particular with Slater.
