Ulster Rugby General Manager Bryn Cunningham Resigns After 11 Years

Bryn Cunningham has announced his decision to step down as Ulster Rugby's General Manager after 11 years in the role, citing the desire to pursue a new challenge. Cunningham has been associated with Ulster Rugby for nearly three decades, starting as a player at age 19 before transitioning into senior management.
