SUFFOLK FA Chief Executive Richard Neal has joined the board of trustees for Ipswich Town Community Trust.

Richard, who has been CEO of Suffolk FA since September 2017, joins the board of trustees along with Rob Adam.

They have been added to the board following on from this season’s announcements of Conor Chaplin, Natasha Thomas, Matt Holland, Mark Ashton, Peter Over, Olly Magnus, Dan Palfrey, Paige Shorten and Andrew Stevens.

Richard (pictured above) said: “Suffolk FA and Ipswich Town share a vision of football and more widely physical activity being used as a vehicle to improve the lives of people across the county.

“The new ownership and management of the club have made clear they hold the Community Trust at the very heart of the club.

“For this reason, I am delighted to join the Ipswich Town Community Trust board of trustees and, by working in conjunction with the Suffolk football community, am excited to see what can be achieved.”
