Director of sport Rea played for the club, formerly known as London Broncos, before taking on the roles of chief executive officer and head coach.

"After 13 terrific years, the time has arrived to say that I am leaving to pursue other challenges," said Rea. "I have missed coaching at the highest level, which is where I feel my strengths lie, and will pursue opportunities to do so."

He added: "I wish to thank the club for the many things they have given me. My experiences here have developed and broadened me.

"To everybody involved now and in the future, I just ask that you continue to look after the place in the same way."

Harlequins RL director David Hughes said: "We respect Tony's decision to further his career in coaching, which I know is in his heart.

"I've known him as a player since the start of Super League in 1996. Thereafter, he filled the role of chief executive officer and then first-team coach. He filled all three roles as a complete professional.

"With the nature of the former London Broncos club and now Harlequins RL, Tony has had to do many tasks beyond the call of duty."
