Comedian and broadcaster Adam Hills will become the next president of the Rugby Football League, succeeding Sir Lindsay Hoyle in the role.
Hills has been a champion for physical disability rugby league, both as an ambassador and a player for Warrington and his native Australia.
RFL chief executive Tony Sutton said: "There has been no more enthusiastic or eloquent advocate for rugby league in the media than Adam in recent years, whether as host of Channel 4's Super League coverage, or welcoming our England wheelchair World Cup winners as guests on The Last Leg.
"He also has authenticity, having been a mainstay of physical disability rugby league since it was launched in 2018."
Hoyle, the Speaker of the House of Commons, took over the role of RFL president in 2022.
