Chief executive Gary Hetherington says Leeds Rhinos’ new sporting director will have ‘autonomy and freedom’ to make his or her own decisions.
Rhinoshetherington30-5 Hetherington will hand over responsibility for Rhinos’ entire rugby operation when an appointment is made, which could be within the next few weeks. The Leeds chief denied he has anyone in mind for the role and insisted getting “the right person” on board is the number one priority.
We’ll give seven days for people to apply and there’ll be an interview process after that, but if the right people come along we can do it pretty sharpish. “We want to get somebody up and running so they can get under the skin of our operation and organisation, get to know everybody and get an understanding of it and give some support to Rohan and the first team as well. Ideally it would be as soon as possible, but the most important thing is the right person for the role.
