Millward leaves Castleford
Castleford have parted company with head coach Ian Millward after a run of seven straight Super League defeats.
The Tigers are languishing bottom of the table after their barren run, and have just three points on the board from 11 games so far this season.
Millward's assistant coach Stuart Donlan has also left the club, with another of his assistants, Danny Orr, taking temporary charge of the first team.
"Following a meeting with Ian Millward, both parties agreed that he should relinquish his position as head coach," read a club statement.
"After a promising start to the 2013 season, recent results have been unacceptable for all concerned, including sponsors and supporters.
"The club would like to thank Ian for his services and wish him all the best for the future. The club will make an announcement regarding a new Head Coach in due course."
Castleford's latest defeat came with a 40-24 reverse against Huddersfield at the weekend, a result that triggered a reshuffle of the club's back office, with interim chief executive Steve Gill handed the role on a permanent basis.
Changes in the make-up of the commercial team were also announced, with Cas chairman Jack Fulton declaring: "I am determined to turn the fortunes of this club around and believe that will happen under the tenure of Steve Gill.
"He is a Castleford man through and through who is dedicated and devoted to leading the club to a bright future."
