As plans to return to Darlington continue to progress, and building on comprehensive sales and marketing plans prepared by the current Board, the Chief Commercial Officer will now embed sustainable commercial revenue generating initiatives, as the Club enters an exciting phase in its ongoing development.

Dave Mills, Director, explains the importance of the newly appointed CCO position, and says, “The Club received many applications for this post from well qualified and experienced people with a sales and marketing background. Anthony stood out as someone who will maximise existing sales opportunities for the Club and also engage with the increasing number of new corporate, commercial and community partners, thereby enhancing the DFC brand awareness in all his dealings and relationships.

Anthony, who has previously worked for the Club’s commercial department, added, “I have experienced many highs and lows with the Club in the past, but nothing compares to the feel that is around the Club right now. From the stewards, volunteers, fans and staff, everyone is pulling in the same direction. This is testament to the astounding efforts both on and off the pitch and it may sound predictable to say it, but it genuinely is an absolute honour to become a part of the Club again. I am very much looking forward to the challenge.”
