Brisbane Broncos Restructure Football Department With New Recruitment Role - Brisbane, QLD
Smart summary
The Broncos have appointed Simon Scanlan to a new senior pathways and strategic football role as the club reshapes its football operations.
The Brisbane Broncos have announced a significant restructure of their football department, including the creation of a new senior role designed to strengthen recruitment, player development and long-term football strategy.
Simon Scanlan, who has previously worked as the club's head of recruitment and pathways, has been promoted to General Manager of Pathways and Strategic Football Projects. His new position will allow him to focus on broader football development while the Broncos look to appoint a new recruitment leader for their NRL roster.
Scanlan has played an important role in the Broncos' recruitment and development system and has been involved in identifying players including Reece Walsh. The club believes his experience can be used more broadly as Brisbane continues to develop its future playing group.
The restructure comes during a challenging period for the Broncos. After winning the NRL premiership in 2023, Brisbane has experienced significant changes and is now undertaking a wider review of its football operations.
Broncos chairman Karl Morris has indicated that the club needs to strengthen its resources as competition across the NRL increases. The arrival of new and proposed clubs is also expected to create greater competition for players and talent.
The Broncos are therefore looking to improve their recruitment strategy, salary-cap planning and pathways system. A new recruitment manager will be responsible for overseeing the club's 30-man NRL roster, while Scanlan's expanded role will concentrate on longer-term development and strategic football projects.
The club says the restructure has been under consideration for more than a year and is not simply a reaction to the team's current results. It forms part of a broader plan to improve the organisation's football operations.
For Brisbane supporters, the changes represent another step in the Broncos' efforts to rebuild their football department and establish a stronger foundation for future seasons.
The Broncos will now begin the search for a new recruitment boss while Scanlan moves into his expanded position. The club hopes the revised structure will help improve talent identification, player development and roster management.
