Mick Watson

The Warriors management company Cullen Sports says Mick Watson will remain with the company to work on its international ventures.

Watson, 39, announced his resignation as the Warriors chief executive on Wednesday after five years in the job.

Warriors majority owner Eric Watson said Mick Watson had helped rebuild the club.

"When we had problems in 2004, Mick had to remove himself from Cullen Sports projects and come back into the rugby league business," he said.

"He has now identified that he needs a change. That will see him working on international ventures."

* Cowboys back rower Micheal Luck has joined the growing list of Queenslanders at the Warriors.

The club yesterday announced the 23-year-old will move to Auckland on a three-year deal.
