The Newcastle Jets have appointed Mitchell Murphy as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Mr Murphy was the former CEO of Football Federation Victoria and says he’s looking forward to the role, which starts on February 16.
“The Hyundai A-League continues to go from strength to strength and I’m delighted to be given the opportunity to lead the Newcastle Jets,” he said.
“We need to focus on the future and not dwell on the past. Developing a strong playing roster and forging long-term partnerships with quality sponsors are obviously of paramount importance.”
Meanwhile, owner Nathan Tinkler has today finalisedaround $500,000 in outstanding payments to various creditors, partners and government organisations.
Further payments will be made in the coming weeks.
“I hope my actions today prove to people my commitment to the Newcastle Jets, the Hunter region, and the Hyundai A-League,” said Mr Tinkler.
