BROMSGROVE Sporting has announced the club's new chairman and vice-chairman after the departure of three directors.

Former chairman Brian Seymour-Smith and his two colleagues Craig Cotterill and Paul Molesworth, stepped down from the board of directors last month.

Following an approach and extensive discussions, the club has announced that Rod Brown and Richard Boorn will be joining the board with immediate effect and will occupy the positions of chairman and vice-chairman.

In addition, the club will be run by a four-person executive board with the remaining directors sitting on a subsidiary board.

The executive board will comprise the chairman, vice-chairman, David Stephens as the football secretary and Graham Scott who has been elected to represent members of the subsidiary board.

A fans' forum will be held at the Victoria Ground in the Rouslers Bar at 7.30 pm on Thursday, December 14 to introduce the new directors and to answer any questions from supporters.

Incoming Bromsgrove Sporting chairman Rod Brown said: "I have been a local of Bromsgrove since 1991 and, like Richard, I am still active within my own business, but also have ties to football in the area.

"I've been thoroughly immersed in football all of my life; firstly as a player, before enjoying a successful non-league management career, with Midlands teams such as Redditch United, Stratford Town, Rugby Town, Stourport Swifts and, of course, Bromsgrove Rovers.

"Latterly, I was invited to join the board at Kidderminster Harriers, holding chairman and vice chairman roles over three years up to 2019. Here, I gained invaluable experience in the business of football.

"We have both looked very closely at the club; there is no doubt it is currently in a precarious position. However, we believe that with strong leadership and financial governance, we can, with the support of current board members, address and halt the situation the club finds itself in.

"We both feel very strongly that the town and the wider growing community deserve better."
