The St George Illawarra Dragons are working tirelessly to rebuild their culture and operations, and have made a major step in doing so this week.
Dragons premiership winner Ben Creagh has stepped down from the club’s board to take up a senior management position, becoming the Dragons’ new Chief Operating Officer.
Creagh’s appointment is part of a major front-office restructure under CEO Tim Watsford, who continues to shape the club’s leadership since taking charge in June.
A member of the Dragons’ 2010 premiership side and the club’s second-most capped player, Creagh joined the board in 2022 and has remained a central figure within the organisation.
As COO, he will oversee all football operations, including the management of elite facilities such as the soon-to-be-completed high-performance centre, while also leading community and stakeholder engagement.
“Ben is one of the club’s greats,” Watsford said in a club statement.
“His deep passion for the Dragons, football credentials and leadership experience will be invaluable in ensuring continuous improvement across all areas of football and club operations.”
Creagh headlines a refreshed executive team assembled by Watsford.
