Bristol City appoint Rawcliffe as new CEO

Tom Rawcliffe joined Bristol City in 2021

Bristol City have appointed Tom Rawcliffe as the club's new chief executive officer ahead of the 2025-26 season.

The role has been vacant since the departure of Phil Alexander, who lasted less than eight months at Ashton Gate before leaving in September 2023.

Rawcliffe has spent the previous four seasons with the Robins, initially joining as head of finance before more recently becoming the club's chief operating officer.

"I am excited to lead the club in the next stage of its journey. I am clear there is a lot of work to do, which starts now," Rawcliffe told the club website.

Bristol City owner Steve Lansdown added: "Over the past four years Tom has shown his value to the club and thoroughly deserves his appointment as chief executive officer with overall control of running this great club.

"Having specialised in the finance and then operations of the club he is in a good position to lead our next stage of development."
