ALDRIDGE BACK TO FOCUS ON LIONS STRATEGY
MILLWALL chairman John Berylson believes the appointment of Alex Aldridge as director of football operations and recruitment will put the club in a good place ahead of the summer transfer window.
Aldridge is back for a second spell with the Lions and has been tasked with developing the club’s football strategy.
Berylson said: “I previously mentioned that this summer was a big one in terms of recruitment and Alex will get straight to work alongside Gary Rowett and the first-team management in order to ensure it’s as productive and successful as possible both for the now and for the future.
“He has extensive expertise in a variety of areas and comes back to us with real commitment and drive to help take the club forward on and off the pitch.”
Aldridge added: “I am delighted to be rejoining
Millwall and will work tirelessly in my role to support Gary, Steve Kavanagh and the board in achieving the club’s long-term objectives.
“It has been evident from our discussions we have a shared ambition to drive the club forward in a number of areas and I am very much looking forward to the challenge.”
Aldridge will also have an input into the club’s efforts to build a new training ground in West Kingsdown and Millwall chief executive Steve Kavanagh gave an update on the plans.
“This week has seen a lot of meetings take place with architects, design experts, the planning committee, and councillors, all of which is very time consuming, but critical to the long-term future of the club,” said Kavanagh.
“The plans taking shape now really are quite exciting, if expensive!”
