Former Sea Eagles chief executive Lyall Gorman has taken up a new role as the head of a housing provider.
Mr Gorman came to Brookvale from the Cronulla Sharks in October 2017.
Earlier this month it was announced he was stepping down from the top job to take on a role overseeing the development of the club’s planned centre of excellence.
On Tuesday he was also announced as the new chief executive of not-for-profit housing provider Evolve Housing.
He started with the Paramatta-based company this week.
However, a Sea Eagles spokesman said he would also continue in his role overseeing the planned centre of excellence.
Meanwhile, the club has begun its search for a new chief executive.
“On behalf of myself, my fellow board members, our members and fans, I would like to thank Lyall for his contribution, guidance and leadership as CEO over the past 18 months,” Gary Wolman, who is standing in as interim chief executive, said.
“We look forward to this next exciting chapter as we continue on our journey to become a benchmark club across sport in Australia.”
Paul Howlett, chairman of Evolve Housing, said Mr Gorman was chosen following a “rigorous search process”.
“He is keenly aware of the legacy with which he is being entrusted and I have full confidence that he will ensure it is cared for, nurtured and built upon,” Mr Howlett said.
Earlier this year the Sea Eagles revealed plans for a multimillion-dollar centre of excellence at Brookvale Oval.
