“I am so pleased that we have now found someone who I believe is perfect to work alongside me in order to take our Club forward.

“Paul possesses all the attributes I was looking for and we are fortunate to have him join us here at the Leasing.com Stadium.

“The appointment clearly furthers our unwavering ambition to take our Club into the EFL and Paul’s guidance will be absolutely pivotal in us achieving this.

Further to this, Head Coach Robbie Savage commented –

“I would like to warmly welcome Paul to the Football Club and there can be no doubt that he represents a great asset to the business going forward.

“With Paul’s extensive knowledge gained from working at the Premier League, his counsel will be crucial going forward and I look forward to working closely with him on a whole range of different levels.”
