The Perth Bears have kicked off their signing spree by officially appointing Anthony De Cegile as their club CEO as they prepare to join the NRL in 2027.
The announcement, reported by Zero Tackle, marks the first of many major developments expected over the next 18 months for the newly confirmed 18th NRL franchise.
De Cegile brings a robust resume to the Bears, having previously served as the Director of News and Current Affairs at Seven West Media.
His appointment is particularly meaningful for Perth fans, as he is the former Editor-in-Chief of the Western Australian newspaper and has strong ties to the local community.
ARLC Chairman, Peter V'landys, acknowledged the significance of De Cegile's appointment for Western Australian locals, highlighting the positive impact it is likely to make.
