A decade ago they teammates in reserve grade at Penrith – now Cameron Ciraldo and Liam Ayoub are set to join forces at the Bulldogs as they look to end the club’s premiership drought
Ayoub is set to return to clubland on November 1 as he joins the ‘Dogs recruitment team and works alongside Ciraldo and head of football Phil Gould to supercharge the club’s title bid.
Ayoub and Ciraldo know each other well, After their playing careers came to an end, Ciraldo started his coaching journey at Penrith and Ayoub transitioned to the club’s high performance unit.
In recent years, Ayoub has been working as a player manager alongside his father Sam, where he has helped guide the careers of the likes of Brian To’o, Izack Tago, Su’A Faalogo, Isaiya Katoa and Bulldogs captain Steve Crichton.
He now gets the chance to put his eagle eye to the test at the ‘Dogs as they continue their resurgence under Gould and Ciraldo.
