Bristol City CEO Rawcliffe leaves the club

Bristol City chief executive Tom Rawcliffe is leaving the club after less than a year in the role.

Rawcliffe only took on the role last summer but is moving back to Nottingham as his wife is expecting their first child.

Chairman Jon Lansdown said: "Following the closure of the January transfer window, Tom openly communicated his desire to head back to the East Midlands at the end of the season.

"Whilst this was disappointing, we fully understand his reasons.

"Given the fast-paced nature of the football industry, we have agreed that it is best for both him and the club to depart now, and he goes with our best wishes."
