BRONCOS legend Andrew Gee has officially resigned as General Manager of Football Operations, ending his 25-year association with Brisbane.

Gee took leave from the Broncos two weeks ago to consider his future and today officially advised the Broncos he would be leaving the club where he first shot to prominence as a powerfully-built front rower under then coach Wayne Bennett.

The shock move comes after the Broncos opted to restructure some of Gee’s many roles in the football department, with the hiring of Peter Nolan as list and recruitment manager last month.

Gee had hired Nolan to separate the recruitment and list management from the day-to-day duties of the football manager.

Scot Czislowski, who has been the Broncos under 20s team manager since 2008 and also fills the NRL welfare manager’s role at the club, will immediately move into the team manager responsibility with the Broncos NRL squad.

The Broncos confirmed Gee’s departure today with a statement.

“The Broncos acknowledge the significant contribution Andrew Gee has made in his current role and in his former roles as both as a player and an administrator over a 25-year period,” the statement said.

“The club wishes both him and his family all the best for the future.”
