Former head of SANZAR and ex-Hurricanes boss Greg Peters is the new CEO of the New Zealand Rugby League.
The Herald understands Peters will be confirmed tomorrow as the man to replace acting CEO and NZRL deputy chair Hugh Martyn, who has occupied the role since former boss Alex Hayton resigned in March.
Peters' appointment gives the NZRL new leadership following a turbulent period in the wake of last year's demoralising Rugby League World Cup and comes after former South Sydney coach Michael Maguire was chosen as the Kiwis new head coach earlier this month.
The move means a switch of codes for the experienced rugby administrator, who returned to New Zealand early last year after serving just over 18 months as the general manager of the Argentine Rugby Union.
Peters previously spent almost five years as the chief executive of SANZAR after four years at the helm of both the Hurricanes Super Rugby Franchise and Wellington Rugby between 2006 and 2010.
