Darren Abram

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Darren Abram is the current coach of National League One club Rochdale Hornets. He was appointed in November 2005 as successor to Bobbie Goulding, who resigned two weeks earlier. Abram cut his coaching teeth with Chorley Lynx in National League Two and was taken on by Leigh Centurions, with a view to taking them into Super League, in October 2003. He accomplished this in his first season as Leigh beat Whitehaven in a dramatic NL1 Grand Final. Leigh's Super League season of 2005, however, proved a disaster and the club were relegated after winning just two games. Abram resigned in August after a disagreement with the board, who felt unable to offer him the full-time contract he wanted for 2006 if the club were not in Super League.
