The Continuous Call Team’s Shane Flanagan has taken the helm of the brand-new Macedonian Lions rugby league team.

The Lions will debut this Sunday, and head coach Shane told Mark Levy the gig has reminded him of why he started coaching in the first place.

Shane has previously held coaching positions in the NRL with the Cronulla Sharks and St George Illawarra Dragons, but the Macedonian team has a special place in his heart.

“Getting back to this level has just given me so much more drive and passion for what rugby league’s about.

“Seeing how excited these boys are just to turn up to training and see each other … to be involved with this group is just a pleasure.”
