Auckland Rugby is searching for a new Mitre 10 Cup coach.

A job advertisement has been posted online with recruitment agency Global Elite Sports.

Nick White's contract is up at the end of the year and he has confirmed he will not be re-applying for the role.

Auckland is currently last in the Mitre 10 Cup Premiership, eight points off semi-final spots with three rounds remaining.

Applications close October 13 - the same day Auckland plays what is likely to be its final match of the season against Canterbury.
