Rose takes over as chairman of MJSL

Rose has stepped up from his previous role as secretary and vice-chairman to succeed the long-serving Myer.

The pair have effectively swapped roles, with Myer joining Gary Louis as vice-chairmen in the summer shake-up.

Rose said: "There has been a change. But Brian, after four stints and 48 years on the committee, will still have a major role to play moving forward. I've learned a lot from him. He has taken the league into the modern era and embraced change.

"He simply wanted to hand the role onto someone younger. This is the strongest committee that I've know in last 20 years."
