Jason King knows a thing or two about helping the Sea Eagles take flight.

“When I started it was the Northern Eagles, and then the license went back to Manly,” King recalled.

“There were different ownership models for a while and then we got to a point where we achieved a phenomenal amount of success. Having seen it all, from seeing it at the low points to the high points, the experience has been terrific.

“Hopefully that experience holds the club in good stead going forward and we achieve some pretty special things.”

King is speaking publicly for the first time since being appointed the new Manly chief executive. It was a move ratified at a Sea Eagles board meeting on Wednesday afternoon following the resignation of Tony Mestrov, who will step away from the role on December 19.
