The Australian has agreed a four-and-a-half-year contract, his appointment having been widely expected following the sacking of Karl Harrison last month.

The 48-year-old was unveiled at The Willows on Monday morning and faces his first test in the club's battle against relegation when the Reds play Harlequins on Friday.

The length of McRae's contract means he will remain at the club even if they are relegated from Super League this season.

McRae said: "It is two-fold - there is the immediate situation and there is the future of the club.

"I was very impressed with what I heard with regards to the future. When the new stadium is built and the team are playing there, it will be a major boost for the club - but I understand there is a massive job before that."
