Community Chief Ends Successful Stay

Burnley Football Club can confirm that Neil Hart, the Chief Executive of Burnley FC in the Community, is to leave his post early next year.

He will take up the post of Chief Executive Officer of Huddersfield Town Football Club in March, 2020.

Neil, who hails from Rochdale, was appointed at Turf Moor in January 2014, after spending eight years in a similar role at Watford, where he worked alongside current Burnley first team manager Sean Dyche.

In the ensuing six years, he has overseen an astonishing growth and helped to transform Burnley FC in the Community into one of the most successful community schemes in the county.
