From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the rugby coach. For the former football player and now scout, see Brian McDermott (footballer).
Brian McDermott is the head coach at Super League club Harlequins Rugby League.
McDermott was a Royal Marine in the British Armed Forces for five years before playing professional rugby league. He joined Bradford Bulls in 1994, where he stayed for 10 years. He played mainly in the prop position at the Bulls.
After ending his playing career in 2004, McDermott moved into coaching. He had spells on the coaching staff at fellow Super League clubs Huddersfield Giants and Leeds Rhinos before accepting his first top-flight head coaching role at Quins RL in July 2006, replacing Tony Rea.
McDermott successfully steered Quins RL away from relegation in his first two months in the job, securing top-flight rugby for the club in 2007.
