Baggies managing director Miles to step down

Mark Miles has been at West Brom for 22 years

West Brom managing director Mark Miles is to step down from the role next week.

Miles has been with the club since 2003 and also held the position of trustee of The Albion Foundation as well as a director.

He will leave on Monday, 15 September.

"After 22 years at Albion, I believe now is the right time for me to step down from my role as managing director," Miles said.

"When I took on this role it was with the intention of stabilising the club, ensuring its survival, and then securing the right custodian for Albion, all of which has been achieved.

"It has been a privilege to work at Albion, while also serving as a Trustee of The Albion Foundation. I have worked alongside some superb colleagues, and it is these people, along with the supporters, who make West Bromwich Albion a special club that will always hold a place in my heart.

"I would like to wish Shilen Patel and everyone associated with the club all the best for the future."

Chairman Patel added: "I have Mark to thank for introducing me to the passion, togetherness, and history of The Albion. His leadership, along with the tireless efforts of so many, enabled the club to persist through a very dark period and find its current footing and path towards higher goals.

"I am additionally grateful to Mark and his wife Anne - from the lowest points of COVID and financial crisis up to our exciting future - for traversing the United Kingdom and the relentless schedule to represent the club with love and pride."
