This week saw Edward Griffiths step down from his role as interim chief executive of Premiership rugby club Saracens.
Griffiths’ (pictured) resignation came after Saracens was handed a further 70-point deduction by the league, ensuring its relegation at the end of the season. The club had already been deducted 35 points following breaches of its salary cap rules.
Saracens said the recruitment process is underway for a long-term chief executive, with an appointment to be made in due course. Griffiths stepped in as interim chief executive following Nigel Wray’s retirement as chairman of Saracens.
