“Yorkshire Carnegie chief executive Gary Hetherington said: ‘We would like to wish Gary the very best for the future and thank him for his

efforts since joining the club.

“Unfortunately for both ourselves and Gary, things have not worked out how we all had hoped back in the summer, however, both parties can now move forward having concluded this mutual agreement.’”

Tommy McGee continues as head coach with Carnegie travelling to their county rivals Doncaster Knights on Saturday.
