New Goole AFC chief executive Rich Nichols
Former Barton Town Old Boys chairman Rich Nichols is the new chief executive at Goole AFC.
Mr Nichols was in charge of Barton during the 2014/15 season before taking up a position on the commercial side at League One outfit Scunthorpe United.
He has since been the head of commercial and marketing at Chesterfield.
“I am delighted to be appointed Chief Executive at Goole AFC and look forward to helping the club stabilise following a difficult season last term,” Nichols told Goole’s official website.
“After speaking to Steve (Shorthouse) and Craig (Wincup) I share their vision to help the club grow both on and off the field and to create a platform for the clubs future. I feel there is great potential here and I will do everything I can to realise that.
“My background is in commercial and it is there that I believe I can offer guidance and direction whilst also ensuring that all aspects of the club are being pieced together for success.
“As a town Goole needs to sustain football at as high a level as possible and I hope that the people in the town will notice the good work going on behind the scenes and come out in force once more when the season commences.”
