Sharks assistant coach Brad Macleod-Henderson has resigned.

SARugbymag.co.za reported on Friday that the Sharks were looking for a new head coach and that it would not be Macleod-Henderson.

That has been confirmed by the Sharks, who said he had been offered another role within the union's new structures but felt that it was time to move on.

Macleod-Henderson has been involved with the Sharks since 2012, initially with the U21s before joining the senior side in July 2013.

He was assistant coach in their last two Vodacom Super Rugby campaigns, looking after the forwards and breakdown, and headed-up the Currie Cup campaigns.
