Leamington FC are pleased to announce that Mark Edwards has joined the Board of Directors following an eleven year association with the club since he first started watching his son Jack playing in Brakes colours.

Mark is vastly experienced in the financial and commercial sector having worked for Lloyds Bank PLC for 41 years, last holding the position of Commercial Business Development Director for the Midlands. Since then he has worked seven years as a commercial consultant and retains a significant list of contacts in those fields.

Mark played semi-professionally locally for Redditch United, Nuneaton Borough and Coventry Sporting before a serious knee injury brought his football career to a halt aged 25 years. He subsequently had an eight year spell managing Stratford Towns Youth team.

He is an avid Coventry City supporter whose hobbies include fly fishing, clay shooting and, of course, watching son Jack playing.

Mark stated, ‘I am excited to join the Board of Directors and am committed to playing a big part in the club’s progress towards continued success and the new stadium development’.

Chairman Jim Scott added, ‘Mark will perform the role of Business Development Director. We had been looking for some time for an individual who had strong business connections in the region to aid our commercial development allied to a drive and determination to support the clubs continued development and we are delighted to have Mark on board.’

Leamington will host Halesowen Town in the Second Round of the Birmingham Senior Cup on Tuesday 3 December, 19:45 kick off.

The Leamington FC Volunteer and Supporters Club are inviting Warwick University Sports Clubs and Societies to the “Massive Student Social” as Leamington travel to Kidderminster.

A full day of action is planned on Saturday 30 November; meeting at 9am at Benjamin Satchwell’s for breakfast before getting the 10:30 train to Kidderminster, via a stop in Birmingham, to watch the uni's local National League side in action.

Brakes fans will largely be making the trip via train, and train tickets are a bargain, costing just £9.80 rerun per person when three or more tickets are bought - and that’s without any railcard reductions!

A large student contingent has been present (and vocal!) at all Brakes home games this season, and it will be great to have their backing on the road for a derby day where a good time is bound to be had by all!
