Tigers secure key man amid Benji's rebuild
The Wests Tigers have secured experienced administrator Shane Richardson as club CEO long-term.
Richardson has been doing the job on an interim basis since December, following the board axing Justin Pascoe from the position.
Pascoe was ousted after years of outcry from passionate fans and members, given the sustained period of mediocrity he oversaw.
Richardson was previously the boss at South Sydney, Penrith, and Cronulla and has a history of success.
He will begin a four-year contract as Tigers CEO in July.
”This is a fantastic opportunity for me to assist this club win its second premiership, and I look forward to working with Benji (Marshall) and the team to achieve that goal,” Richardson said.
“Wests Tigers is a family club with fiercely loyal members and a huge supporter base. We’re on a journey, come with us.”
One of Richardson’s first acts as interim CEO was to sack recruitment chief Scott Fulton, who had clashed with new head coach and club legend Marshall.
