Breakers Announce New Coach And CEO

General manager Richard Clarke will depart in April, to join former colleagues Andrej Lemanis and CJ Bruton at the Brisbane Bullets for the 2016-17 season.

Also leaving is head coach Dean Vickerman, who's in the last year of his three-year contract as head coach, having been an assistant prior.

Having also served under Andrej Lemanis for six seasons, Vickerman said it was always his plan to step aside this year.

"At the start of my tenure as coach it was part of something I wanted to do, and to have a succession plan, and to have that be a New Zealand coach coming through."

Two club stalwarts have been appointed to replace the pair, with current assistant coach Paul Henare taking over as head coach, and former player Dillon Boucher taking over Clarke's general manager duties.

Boucher is currently the commercial manager of the club.
