Head Coach: Simon Grix
Simon Grix is in his first job as a head coach having
taken over from Richard Marshall in April 2019, initially in a caretaker role
but was appointed on a permanent basis a few weeks later.
His playing career began with Halifax (where he was born)
in 2003. He was signed by Warrington in 2005 but missed out on the whole of his
first year because of injury. He returned to Halifax in 2016 both as a player
and as a member of the coaching staff. Although he has played for Fax this year
he has only made one appearance since taking over as head coach.
Simon is what one would describe as a utility having
played at fullback, centre, stand-off, scrum-half, second row and loose
forward! He is an Ireland international.
Co-Captain: Brandon
Moore, Jacob Fairbank and Adam Tangata
For 2022, Halifax have decided to share the captaincy between three players.
Brandon Moore started his career with Castleford in 2015 and moved to Halifax in 2016. When the Championship was shut down during the pandemic in 2020 he played four games for Halifax.
After starting with Halifax in 2011, Jacob Fairbank played with Huddersfield, Batley, Bradford, London Broncos, Wakefield and Oldham but has been back as a Halifax player since 2015.
Adam Tangata is a Cook Islands international who came to
England to join Halifax in 2015. In 2019 he joined Widnes but after only three
games there he returned to Halifax and then signed for Wakefield in August. He came4
back again to Halifax in August 2021.
Dual Registration and Loans
In 2022 Halifax have had a dual registration agreement
with Huddersfield and five Huddersfield players have played for Halifax during
2022: Jack Ashworth, Sam Hewitt, Nathan Mason, Oliver Roberts and Fenton Rogers.
Halifax have not used any loan
players, but four of their squad have been out on loan during this year.
