Danny Corcoran has resigned after a six-year stint as chief executive of Athletics Australia to join new Super Rugby franchise Melbourne Rebels.
The Rebels join an expanded Super 15 competition in 2011 and Corcoran will be their inaugural general manager of rugby operations.
He held similar posts at AFL clubs Essendon and Melbourne before joining AA in 2004.
Corcoran becomes the second senior sports administrator to jump codes and join the Rebels.
Brian Waldron was poached from NRL outfit Melbourne Storm to be their first CEO.
