We’re delighted to announce the appointment of two new Directors, Paul Strudley and Nigel Parry, to the club.
Paul Strudley, who will take on the role of Director of Football, is no stranger to the club having had an illustrious goalkeeping career spanning 25 years. Struds joined ‘Stoke in 2020 and was an instrumental part of our treble-winning season. In his day job, he works in the Finance industry and will be a welcome addition to the club. As Director of Football, Paul will now act as a vital bridge between the Academy, Youth, and Women’s teams and the board, helping to further elevate our teams. Paul brings a wealth of experience and passion that will be invaluable to the club’s growth.
Nigel Parry also joins us as our new Compliance Director, having recently retired from a distinguished 36-year career in investment management, and will primarily focus on process and constitutional matters, covering several topics previously expertly covered by former director Chris Walsh.
Please join us in welcoming them both to the club!
