Bristol City Announce Tom Rawcliffe As Chief Executive Officer

Bristol City has announced the appointment of Tom Rawcliffe as the club’s new Chief Executive Officer. 

This comes after four years at the club in which Rawcliffe has been both Head of Finance and most recently Chief Operating Officer – a role which he has had for the past two seasons. Before that, he was at AFC Wimbledon, in charge of the club’s finances. 

Bristol City owner Steve Lansdown said of the appointment: “Over the past four years Tom has shown his value to the club and thoroughly deserves his appointment as Chief Executive Officer with overall control of running this great club.

“Having specialised in the finance and then operations of the club he is in a good position to lead our next stage of development.”

Ahead of the new Sky Bet Championship season, Rawcliffe has now started this position and will lead the day-to-day running of the club in the 25/26 season. 

Speaking of his appointment Rawcliffe, said: “I am excited to lead the club in the next stage of its journey. I have been at the club several years now and believe this evolution is an exciting one. 

“We are progressing on and off the field, but I am clear there is a lot of work still to do, which starts now.”
