Sheffield Wednesday have appointed a new Chief Operating Officer.

The club have announced that Liam Dooley who has previously worked as the club’s Commercial Director, will now take on the role of COO, effective immediately.

Dooley, who previously worked for Pepsi and Pipers Crisps, will be tasked with trying to bring in more revenue at the club on the back of what has been a difficult 18 months, but will also have a more all-encompassing position than the one that he previously held at the club.
