The Rugby League International Federation will unveil its first appointment into a chief executive officer role later this week, with a press conference scheduled for Thursday.

The announcement, which will take place in London on Thursday morning at 8am, will see the new man present as well as RLIF Chairman Nigel Wood, who will also be on hand to field questions.

Several high-profile figures have been linked with the role, but it seems as if we will get our answer tomorrow morning regarding who the man to take up the hotseat is.

As always, TotalRL.com will bring full coverage of the announcement, with the fallout and reaction in Monday’s League Express.
