Wales Online reveal that Rob Howley turned down domestic advances prior to signing his new deal with the WRU.
"Rob Howley has revealed he turned down club coaching offers to remain part of Warren Gatland’s Wales set-up.
Howley has followed Shaun Edwards’ lead in agreeing a new long-term contract with the Welsh RugbyUnion.
Forwards coach Robin McBryde will also carry on for another year, while kicking coach Neil Jenkins will be involved for another four years.
Howley has agreed a deal that will see him remain part of the national set-up until at least a full season after the next World Cup in 2015."
