The Perth Bears announce that Anthony De Ceglie has stepped down as chief executive, with his departure effective immediately. The club makes the announcement in a press release issued on Friday evening.
Multiple outlets report that De Ceglie previously worked in media, including roles at Seven West Media. Sources note he has been editor-in-chief of The West Australian, and also describe him as a former director of news and current affairs there. ABC Australia adds that the NRL club, which is the first team from Western Australia since 1997, does not provide a reason for his exit.
While all outlets confirm the resignation and effective timing, they vary mainly in background detail and whether they mention the club’s lack of explanation for the departure.
