Abi Ekoku to leave role as interim RFL CEO

Abi Ekoku will leave his role as Interim CEO at the Rugby Football League later this month to take up an opportunity at a member club.

Rugby Football League Chairman, Nigel Wood said: “I’d like to thank Abi for his hard work, diligence and professionalism over the last seven months, helping lead the RFL in a variety of key areas. His dedication to the cause has been welcomed and, through his leadership, he has been influential in some major decision-making around the sport. I wish him well with his new endeavours.” 

The RFL Board will meet in due course to finalise interim arrangements pending the appointment of a full-time CEO.
