Jersey Reds have confirmed that Bill Dempsey has resigned from his role as the Club's Director of Professional Rugby.
Mr Dempsey had taken up the new role in May at the end of an eight-year tenure as the Club's Chairman.
Jersey Reds Chairman Mark Morgan said: "Bill asked to meet me and told me that he had decided to step down with immediate effect. To lose someone of Bill's great experience is a disappointing development for the Club, but nevertheless I respect his decision and would like to thank him for the major contribution he's made. I hope that he will still be a familiar and regular face at St Peter on match-days and at other Club events."
