The respected mentor will take over from Mick Raynes and faces a big challenge leading the Southern Inland Rugby Union club back up the premiership ladder.
The Steamers plummeted down the ladder last year after winning the flag in 2015.
The Steamers were decimated by injuries and unavailability last season and are confident of recruiting several class recruits in coming weeks.
They have started pre-season training and are inviting new players to attend.
Waratahs took out last season’s grand final with a thrilling 28-25 win over Wagga City when Angus Le Lievre converted a penalty in the dying stages.
They again shape as one of the teams to defeat with Angus Macleod taking over as coach.
Only Wagga City and Ag College, with Nathan Honeyman and Nick McCarthy, have retained their roles.
