The NRL have named Todd Greenberg as their new chief executive.
Greenberg appointment ends a five-month search with the former Canterbury chief taking over from Dave Smith and beating Accor Hotels boss Simon Grath to the role.
ARL Commission Chairman John Grant said Greenberg ticked all the boxes after conducting a global search.
"While we've known all along that he is an outstanding sports administrator with a deep understanding and love of the game, his experience as the former CEO of the Bulldogs and Head of Football for the NRL, together with his professional values and credibility with our stakeholders, proved to the Commission that he was the man for the job," Grant said.
Greenberg said it was a privilege to have the opportunity to lead the NRL.
"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."
