St Helens sack Keiron Cunningham

    St Helens have sacked their head coach Keiron Cunningham.

    The Super League team have parted company with Cunningham after a disappointing start to the season, which sees the side in seventh place on the league table.

    The 40-year-old made 496 appearances for his home-town club as player before he joined backroom staff in 2010, becoming head coach four years later.
