The Counties Manukau Rugby Union is on the lookout for a new chief executive after Andrew Maddock today announced his resignation, as of the end of April.
After seven years at the helm, Maddock says he will tackle some new opportunities.
"It has been a privilege to serve this union; one I'll miss terribly. I'm quietly proud of what we've achieved together in recent years. Counties rugby is well established as a high performing union, and deserves its many successes."
Maddock credits the union's success to the staff and the hundreds of capable and dedicated people associated with rugby clubs, schools and rep teams.
"We've been fortunate to have so many great staff, coaches, referees, administrators and other volunteers serving our game over the years. The game has grown in our region, competitions have been impressive and players have been developed to produce unprecedented success at the highest levels. It really has been a team effort."
