STEVE Rosich says there is no truth to speculation he is close to signing on as chief executive of Hawthorn.

The Fremantle chief executive attended Hawthorn's Easter Monday clash with Geelong, but contacted on Thursday amid fresh headlines linking him to the Hawks, he reaffirmed that he was contracted to Fremantle.

"Hawthorn approached me and I advised them that I had a contract here that specifically states I cannot work for another AFL club until at least the end of 2019," Rosich told AFL.com.au on Thursday.

Rosich's latest comments reiterate an earlier statement from Dockers president Dale Alcock in March.

Rosich has recently overseen Fremantle's move to a new state-of-the-art facility at Cockburn Central.

The Hawks are looking to fill the CEO vacancy left by Stuart Fox, who has moved to become chief executive of the Melbourne Cricket Club.

On Wednesday night Channel Seven reported former Australian Olympic Committee chief executive Fiona de Jong was a contender for the Hawks position.

If successful, it would make her the first permanent female chief executive of an AFL club.

St Kilda's chief operating officer Ameet Bains has also been linked to the job, but is also believed to have ruled himself out of the position.
