Jim Mallinder has emerged has a leading contender for the soon to be vacant Ulster Rugby head coach position, according to a report in The Irish Independent.
The former Northampton Saints boss has been out of work since departing Franklin’s Gardens back in December, after a poor run of results with the English Premiership side.
