Wests Tigers have today announced the termination of the contract of Head Coach Jason Taylor, effective immediately.

Wests Tigers Chair Marina Go said that this decision was not an easy one for the Club to make.

โ€œOn behalf of everyone at Wests Tigers Iโ€™d like to thank Jason for his commitment and contribution to the Club during his time as Head Coach,โ€ said Go. โ€œJason has overseen significant change within the Club over the past two seasons and we thank him for his efforts.

โ€œOur position has always been to make sure that the Head Coachโ€™s contract is tied to performance and that hasnโ€™t changed,โ€ she said. โ€œWe are committed to building a side that will be in a position to win NRL Premierships and believe that this decision is the correct one for the future of the Club.

โ€œThis is a challenging time for the Club and Jason and we ask that we are given time to work through this process with Jason,โ€ said Go.

Current Wests Tigers Assistant Coach Andrew Webster will take on the role of Interim Head Coach.

Webster returned to Wests Tigers this year after spending two seasons as an Assistant Coach at the New Zealand Warriors.

Webster previously worked for Wests Tigers as an assistant coach.
