Sydney Roosters Chairman, Mr Nick Politis AM, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr John Lee as the Chief Executive Officer of the Sydney Roosters Rugby League Football Club.

Mr Lee joins the Roosters from the South Sydney Rabbitohs where he held the position of Chief Executive.

“After an extensive process, we are delighted to appoint someone of John’s business, management and leadership experience to the role of Sydney Roosters Chief Executive Officer,” said Mr Politis AM.

“Following the recent departure of our former Chief Operating Officer Football, Brian Canavan, after a total of 18 years loyal service to our Club, we took the opportunity to reassess the structure of our organisation, and there is no doubt that John is the best candidate to lead our Club and take our business forward,” added Mr Politis AM.
