The Canterbury Bulldogs have confirmed their coaching and football staff for the 2025 NRL season which includes several former players and a WBC Silver World Champion boxer.

Aiming to make the NRL Finals for the second straight season, Cameron Ciraldo headlines the coaching staff as the head coach and will have Chad Randall, Jason Taylor and Luke Vella working under him as the assistant coaches.

In confirming their football department and coaching staff, former Bulldogs players Josh Jackson, Steve Turner, Josh Reynolds, and Mark O'Meley are also with the club as part of their pathway teams' coaching structure.

Former players Andrew Ryan, Willie Mason, Roy Asotasi, James Graham and Terry Lamb are also associated with the club in an advisory role.

Rounding out the football department is WBC Silver World Champion boxer Ella Boot, who works in their sports science department.
