James Johnson says he is enthusiastic about the "exciting" prospect of the Cronulla Sharks investing in Australia's new national second tier.
Thirty-two football clubs from eight states and territories want to be part of Football Australia's national second-tier competition.
"The A-Leagues have shown elite sports what the blueprint for meaningful cultural change looks like -- and this is only just the beginning."
