The appointment of Baroness Brady and Executive Director Warren, who are both members of the West Ham United FC Board, alongside Director of Ticketing Keye, were all added to the Women’s team Board. Together they have more than 60 years of combined senior experience from women in professional football, providing additional focus, commitment and senior support to the Women’s team’s ongoing development and growth.
Baroness Brady said: “I am delighted to be able to confirm this important and exciting new level of senior support for West Ham United Women, as we continue to enhance all areas of the Football Club and build upon our role as an equity leader in football.
