Exeter City club board chairman Nick Hawker is to step down from his role.

Hawker, who is chair of Exeter City Supporters' Trust - which owns the club - had been on the board for eight years.

Also leaving the club is chief executive Joe Gorman, who first joined City as chief financial officer in 2023 before being promoted in September last year.

Clive Harrison will chair the club's board of directors on a interim basis.

"It has been an honour to guide the club over the last eight years," Hawker said.

"During this time, we have seen the club promoted to League One, built a £3m training facility, and purchased the training ground and properties surrounding St James Park.

"These milestones have been achieved through extraordinary teamwork and the backing of our fantastic supporters. I am truly grateful to everyone who has contributed to the success of this remarkable club."
