End of the wait for Frank

From the Guardian Series, first published Friday 15th Oct 2004.

FRANK Endacott has ended weeks of speculation by finally agreeing to become head coach at Widnes Vikings.

The 58-year-old Kiwi spent almost a month resolving business interests in New Zealand after keeping the Vikings up but has put fans out of their misery by saying those magic words 'I do' to a two-year deal.

He said: "It's taken a couple of weeks longer to sort out than I'd hoped but I couldn't wait any longer.

"The level of support I got from the people of Widnes was tremendous so I can't wait to get back into the team and start going forward.

"Widnes is a club with immense potential," he added.

The former New Zealand and Wigan coach is scheduled to touch down at the Halton Stadium in a months time to prepare the club for Super League X.
