CRONULLA has confirmed it has re-signed star halfback Brett Kimmorley for the next five National Rugby League seasons.
Kimmorley will also assume the captaincy from fullback David Peachey after agreeing to a deal believed to be worth $1.5 million. Kimmorley had been locked in a management dispute that was preventing the former Test half from re-signing with the Sharks until this week. The 26-year-old will take the captaincy reins from Peachey, who has been the Sharks' leader since club legend Andrew Ettingshausen retired at the end of the 1999 season.

Peachey to quit as Sharks captain By Tony Adams and Dean Ritchie December 9, 2002
INSPIRATIONAL fullback David Peachey will stun the Cronulla club by standing down as captain tomorrow.
Star halfback Brett Kimmorley, who The Daily Telegraph revealed on Saturday is poised to sign a five-year deal with the club, will take over the reins.
Peachey has done a superb job as Sharks captain since the retirement of Andrew Ettingshausen at the end of the 2000 season.
But a fortnight ago, Peachey informed coach Chris Anderson he wanted to spend more time on other issues, specifically his off-field work helping young Aboriginal children.
A tight-lipped Anderson refused to comment on the situation yesterday, other than saying of Peachey's captaincy: "I haven't got a problem."
Peachey, who led Cronulla into last year's NRL finals, was unavailable for comment.
Kimmorley will tomorrow sign a five-year contract worth $1.5million.
With his brilliant skills and organisational ability, Kimmorley shapes a natural leader for the club.

Peach wants a championship and if Kimmorley's the captain that's fine by him.
