Sheffield Steelers have appointed Paul Heavey as their new head coach after releasing Rob Stewart from his duties.
Heavey, formerly with Cardiff, Ayr and Manchester, replaces Stewart following a poor regular season which has seen Sheffield concede their league title.
However, the team still have high hopes of retaining their play-off title.
Owner Norton Lea said: "The club felt a change was needed, a new direction was required if they were going to have a positive end to the league season."
