The National Rugby League has announced Todd Greenberg as the new Chief Executive Officer at a press conference in Sydney.

Greenberg replaces Dave Smith who left his post at the backend of 2015.

“My goal will be to unite the game at every level because, working together, there is no limit to the potential for Rugby League which can continue to thrive and grow,” Greenberg said.

“I have a genuine love of this game and I intend to continue to use my experience to build on the steps we have taken over the last two and a half years. We intend to deliver the best possible outcomes for fans, the clubs, the State leagues and the players.”

Chairman John Grant said Greenberg was the perfect fit for the game moving forward.

“Our local and international search identified a number of highly credentialed individuals from both within and outside the game who would have offered a lot to rugby league,” Grant said.

“But at the end of the day, Todd ticks all the boxes to be the new CEO.”
