Burnley Football Club can confirm that James Holroyd has decided to step down as Chief Executive Officer to pursue a new challenge. James will remain closely involved with Burnley FC in the Community going forward.
The Club will provide a further update on its executive leadership structure in due course.
Alan Pace, Chairman, said:
"On behalf of everyone at the Club, I'd like to thank James for his contribution over the past year, and we wish him every success for the future."
James Holroyd said:
"It's been an honour and a privilege to serve this great club. There's a pride and a resilience that runs through Burnley that you feel from the moment you arrive. That's what makes this such a difficult decision, but it's why I'll keep supporting the incredible work being done by BFC in the Community.
I want to thank Alan and the Board for the opportunity to serve this club, and the staff and supporters for making me feel truly part of the Claret family.
Forever Up the Clarets."
