Kearney gets job with Storm

Sacked Warriors coach Stephen Kearney will join the Melbourne Storm next season as an assistant coach.

Kearney has signed a 12-month deal with the Storm.

In doing so, he will return to where it all began for him as a coach, having previously been Bellamy's assistant between 2006 and 2010.

Kearney also played 139 games for the Storm between 1999 and 2004, forming part of their inaugural premiership-winning side.
