    Harrogate Town has appointed Sarah Barry to the newly created position of chief executive.

    The club, which has won its first three matches in League Two this season, announced the appointment today.

    Chairman Irving Weaver said Ms Barry, who was managing director of former local radio station Stray FM, had a "wealth of experience and business acumen in leading a team".

    He added:

    "It is an exciting time as fans return to football and with Harrogate Town’s first full season with fans in League Two and I am delighted that Sarah is going to join us in a new role as chief executive officer."


    Harrogate-born Ms Barry began her career in advertising sales after leaving university and joined Stray FM in 1994.

    She said:

    “I have always known there was something very special about this club, its people and spirit. From the start, I felt aligned with what it represents so this move feels very natural for me.
    "I’m passionate about my hometown and nothing can bring people together like football can, which I also love, so I am incredibly excited to be joining.
