Canterbury have parted ways with their chief executive Andrew Hill.
Hill was informed by the Bulldogs board on Monday night his services were no longer needed and he will finish up at the close of business Tuesday.
One of the sharpest operators in the game, Hill - who watched the club churn through three different boards in as many years - was said to be stunned by the news.
After the messy departure of coach Des Hasler in 2017, followed by the axing of coach Dean Pay last year and the early exit of several high-profile players on big-money contracts, things were finally starting to look up at the Bulldogs.
Hill kept the club running through the COVID period last year and was still signing players as late as Monday when Corey Allan committed to a new three-year deal.
Another sponsorship deal Hill helped broker was also expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Hill spent time with Parramatta and oversaw the 2017 World Cup before beating more than 2500 applicants to land the Belmore top post.
The club is expected to formally confirm the news later today.
More to come
