He said: “First and foremost, my thanks go to Alan Povey and the board, for allowing me this opportunity to serve our club, it is truly an honour. Whilst I’m on the board, my ambition is not to merely increase the CFU Membership, but to further the engagement and influence the members have with the club.”

Chair of CFU Alan Povey said: “Myself and the rest of the City Fans United board are delighted to welcome David to the board. Having shown an interest, David was co-opted on after showing a real passion for Chester Football and an eagerness to help us in our quest to move forward.

“David will be taking on the membership portfolio, and over the coming months it will be his responsibility, with the support of the rest of the board, to drive forward CFU membership and help to engage and promote the benefits of joining the CFU. It is an important role and it is vital that we have somebody like David to help us grow.

“The whole board look forward to working with him, and CFU members will have the opportunity to meet David at the next CFU meeting on Thursday April 20th.”
