John Smit resigns as CEO
John Smit, Chief Executive of The Sharks, has
announced he will resign at the end of the 2016 season.
“It was an honour for me to represent the Sharks on and off the field. I have enjoyed the last three years and greatly appreciate the continuing support of our chairman Stephen Saad, KZNRU President Graham Mackenzie, Supersport and the rest of the Board," said Smit, who was appointed as the Sharks CEO in July 2014.
“This decision to resign was not an easy one and it is based primarily on me wanting to focus more of my time on my young family."
Smit led the Springboks to win the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and remains the most-capped South African hooker, with 111 appearances.
The process leading to the appointment of a new CEO has begun.
