Barnsley Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Ian Leech as the Club’s new Commercial Manager as we prepare for our return to the Sky Bet Championship.

I’ve had my first week at Oakwell this week and there is a great atmosphere around the place; it’s an extremely positive environment at the moment and it bodes well for the season ahead. I’m looking forward to getting out there and meeting the fans and Club Partners over the coming weeks!”
