Mick Potter has been appointed coach of the Fiji rugby league team on a short-term contract.

The former Wests Tigers, Bradford, St Helens and Catalans Dragons coach will take charge of the Bati for May's Pacific Test against Papua New Guinea.

The 52 year old Potter replaced fellow Australian Rick Stone, who had been in charge since 2011.

Fiji National Rugby League chief executive Timoci Naleba said further discussions will take place with the Newcastle Knights assistant coach at the end of the year regarding the 2017 World Cup.
