The Penrith Panthers have announced the return of a familiar face, as a former star player steps into a new role within the club’s front office.
While full details of the position are yet to be revealed, the move reflects a growing trend in the NRL of ex-players bringing their experience and passion back to the clubs where they made their names.
This mirrors past returns, such as club legend Greg Alexander, who transitioned from on-field greatness to key roles off the field, including working in media, mentoring, and serving as a board member for the Panthers.
Alexander, who captained the Panthers to their first premiership in 1991, has long been an influential figure in shaping the club’s culture and direction. His journey stands as a powerful example of how former players can continue to impact the game after retirement.
Fans are hopeful that the latest return will further strengthen the Panthers’ already impressive leadership and help maintain their success on and off the field.
