I AM ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED TO HAVE TAKEN ON THIS ROLE, FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF SOME INCREDIBLE CHAIRMEN.

FROM 1986 WHEN I FIRST STEPPED OUT IN THE CLUB'S COLOURS, TO 2008 WHEN I HUNG UP MY PLAYING BOOTS, TO COACHING A YOUTH TEAM, THE HAVEN HAS ALWAYS FELT LIKE A SECOND HOME.

I FEEL AN ENORMOUS SENSE OF PRIDE WHEN I SEE THE 28 TEAMS WE CURRENTLY HAVE PLAYING AND SEE KIDS WHOSE PARENTS I ONCE PLAYED ALONGSIDE.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHERE THIS JOURNEY WILL TAKE US AS A CLUB AND LOOK FORWARD TO ENGAGING WITH THE WHOLE COMMUNITY TO MAKE THIS CLUB A PLACE FOR US ALL TO BE PROUD OF.
