The St George Illawarra Dragons have secured the services of premiership-winning coach Shane Flanagan as a list management consultant.
Flanagan, who has previously acted as an assistant coach at the Dragons, will commence his consultancy role with immediate effect.
Dragons general manager of football Ben Haran said Flanagan's focus will sit firmly on the strengthening of the club's NRL and development player squads.
"To have someone of Shane's calibre return to the Dragons will only complement our football program, particularly in the dynamic environment that is list management," Haran said.
"Shane will work closely with the club's recruitment and retention committee to ensure the Dragons' list remains competitive for many years to come.
"In my time previously working with Shane he clearly demonstrated his vast rugby league knowledge and connections throughout the game. We look forward to him returning to the Dragons."
Ian Millward will remain at the Red V as Pathways Director; overseeing all recruitment and retention activities pertinent to the Dragons Academy, junior representative and external pathways.
