    A Harrogate lawyer has been appointed to the board at Leeds United.

    Peter McCormick, a senior partner at McCormicks Solicitors, will join the club as executive vice-chairman.

    Mr McCormick will be tasked with supporting United chairman, Paraag Marathe, and other senior executives on strategic planning, stadium redevelopment and commercial matters.

    The move comes as current Leeds chief executive, Angus Kinnear, will depart the club at the end of the season. Mr Kinnear is due to join Premier League side Everton, according to reports.

    Meanwhile, Mr McCormick has also resigned his position at the Premier League to join United.

    In a statement, Mr Marathe said:

    I want to thank Angus for his commitment and service for so many years, and for being a fantastic steward and leader of the club.

    As we move forward, I am confident that the incredible talent across our team will sustain our success. In the meantime, I look forward to continuing to work with both Angus and Peter as we fight for promotion in the coming weeks.

    Mr McCormick has a wealth of experience in football boardrooms.

    He was interim-chair of the Premier League from January 2022 to January 2023 and has also served on the board of the Football Association, which he also chaired for 14 months.

    Mr McCormick was also a director at United in the 1990s and is now expected to represent the club in key meetings.
