CEO Marshall to leave Bristol Sport in October

Bristol City chief executive officer Gavin Marshall is to leave his role at the end of October to take a position with the Welsh Rugby Union.

Marshall is the CEO of the Bristol Sport group, which includes Bristol City, Bristol Bears men's and women's rugby teams and the Bristol Flyers basketball team.

Earlier this month, Marshall, who was also chair of Bristol City Women, helped facilitate the sale of the team to the Mercury13 group.

"For almost a decade I have lived and breathed our multi-sport offering, and I am proud to have played a part in helping drive record growth across all five sports teams during that time," he said.
