Stephen Jones joined Newcastle as senior assistant coach from Super Rugby side Moana Pasifika
Newcastle Red Bulls interim head coach Stephen Jones says he is excited by the "wonderful challenge" the club will face next season.
Jones is set to revert to his preferred role as attack coach in the new-look coaching team, which will be led by Englishman Dan McFarland.
With 23 new players signed up for the new campaign, it will be a busy summer at Kingston Park.
"It's exciting and there are challenges that come with that," Jones told BBC Sport.
