Following a recruitment process that attracted more than 80 applications, Craig emerged as the standout candidate and will now lead key areas of the Trust’s operations, supporting the continued growth of grassroots football, community engagement and facility development at the Beehive.

“As one of the largest grassroots football clubs in the country, Craig’s appointment is an exciting next step in our journey. We already have a brilliant management structure in place for our first team, led by Mitch Austin, and Craig’s appointment is an active effort to develop the parts of our club that are linked with our grassroots football, work in the community and ensuring we maximise and sustain our facilities.”
