Months after guiding the club to the grand final, Honeyman has departed following one season at the helm.

Honeyman exceeded expectations in his first season at the club as they pushed Waratahs all the way in the decider.

Wagga City said it was a very difficult decision to make when details where confirmed on Friday.

They cited family reasons for the decision and thanked Honeyman for his efforts and wish him well in the future.  

Dave Tynan was been installed as interim coach to continue the pre-season preparations of Boiled Lollies.

“He will step into Nathan’s role as interim coach and will continue to be supported by Jason McQueen,” publicity officer Darren Rudd said.

However, it is expected a number of players will come into the role as part of a four-man coaching structure. 

An altitude camp was called off over the weekend and instead the club hosted a beach and barbecue day on Saturday.

Rudd said the club’s focus is now on completing the the pre-season and looking ahead to the season.

He said the club wasn’t concerned about the timing of the change.

“I don’t think it is too much of a concern,” He said.

“We just have to focus on the season and finishing the rest of the pre-season.

“It is a certainly a loss, and while we wish Nathan all the best, I think we will bounce back.”

The Daily Advertiser was unable to be reach Honeyman.

However, his departure means all eight clubs will have a new coach for the upcoming season.

Ag College and Griffith are the only clubs yet to confirm their coaches for the 2017 season.

Griffith have been chasing an international-level coach but the move has been complicated by visa and family issues.
