Newcastle Rugby League officially made the announcement on Friday ahead of a new-look program in 2023.
Betrridge steered Macquarie to a Newcastle RL title in 2017 but has more recently been working at the Knights, featuring stints with SG Ball and Jersey Flegg squads.
"Having a coach of Adam's calibre gets the Rebels campaign for 2023 off to a great start," Newcastle RL general manager Adam Devich said via a statement.
"The combination of his knowledge of the players in the Denton Engineering Cup [first grade] and the experience he gained at the Knights makes him a great fit for the Rebels role."
Newcastle RL is set to rejoin the men's senior NSW Country Championships next season with knockout matches taking place throughout March.
