Rosie Williams OBE will officially step into the role at the end of February 2022 and will return to Australia in time for the Summer Slam and International Series at Blacktown NSW.

Softball Australia announced the appointment of Rosie Williams OBE as its new Chief Executive Officer.

Williams was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2013 for her contribution to rugby in England, and previously held the position of Managing Director of the Rugby Football Union (RFU) for Women.

Chair of Softball Australia Richard Lindell said: "We're at a really exciting point for Softball as we build on the work of recent years and start to formulate our next strategic plan so it's fantastic to have Rosie with us as we prepare for our next phase.”

Williams, Softball Australia’s new CEO, added: "I'm thrilled to be returning home to join the team at Softball Australia. It’s a sport I've always loved having played a lot at school and university, and I think it has great potential for growth and high-performance success in both the women’s and men’s programs in Australian and international competition.”
