Sligo Rovers have confirmed this afternoon that CEO Colin Feehily is to leave the club.
In a statement this afternoon, Rovers have said that Feehily will be pursuing other opportunities away from the club in the coming weeks, and thanked him for his efforts.
Feehily was appointed CEO of the club in 2019, and had also served as kitman for the men’s senior team for a number of years before being made Chief Executive.
Rovers Chairman, Tommy Higgins, said today, “In the last four years Colin has guided the club through a period of growth in many areas.
He can take great credit for modernising the day-to-day operations of the club and putting in structures which were very much needed.
We are very grateful for all of Colin’s work, for his extraordinary commitment and diligence and for representing the football club in such a reputable manner.
While we are sad to lose Colin, we know he will be in The Showgrounds with us as a supporter, volunteer and a valued part of the Rovers community.”
Feehily himself also said, “On one hand, I am sad to be leaving the club I love but on the other, I’ll be looking forward to something new and to also being back as a supporter.
I’ll bring with me some wonderful experiences and memories to last a lifetime.
I’d like to thank everyone I have worked with at Sligo Rovers over the years, including the staff, volunteers and supporters, as well figures in other clubs throughout the country.
I wish everyone the best of luck moving forward and some great days ahead for Sligo Rovers.”
The club have said the process to appoint a new CEO will begin immediately.
