Canberra Raiders assistant Brett Kimmorley has emerged as a potential contender for the vacant Newcastle Knights coaching job next season after he revealed he is interested in the position.
Kimmorley says he is yet to speak to anyone at the Knights but admitted the prospect of returning to his home town to take on a head coaching role after four years as an assistant at Canterbury and the Raiders appealed to him.
