Huddersfield Giants have announced that Ralph Rimmer will be joining the club’s board as director for change.
The former chief executive of the Rugby Football League has accepted an invitation from Giants chairman Ken Davy.
Rimmer, 60, has carried out a three-month review of the club’s operations and will oversee the implementation of his findings.
Davy said: “We, like many clubs, face challenges.
“To achieve our goals will not be easy. It is going to take complete focus and dedication from everyone involved as we drive through change.
“I was absolutely delighted when Ralph agreed to join the board.
“The journey will not be an easy one but in Ralph we have a man whose abilities will help us maximise the opportunities ahead.”
Rimmer had a four-year spell in charge of the RFL from 2018 to 2022.
He said: “Having worked with the Giants over the last few months completing the original task, I couldn’t help but feel the passion and desire that exists to push on and achieve more.
“There are some exciting changes ahead: The clue is in the title!”
