Nottingham Forest chairman Tom Cartledge has stepped down with immediate effect to focus on the running of his family businesses.

He will remain on the board and will be replaced by Nicholas Randall, who is reappointed as chairman having been in the position for six years after Evangelos Marinakis bought the club in 2017.

Cartledge said: “I have had an incredible experience over the last 15 months, working for the club I love and have supported all my life.

“Over the last year and a half we have taken significant steps in securing the club’s future at an expanded City Ground and I will now continue to advise the owners on the real estate strategy whilst spending more time working in my family business."

Randall added: “I would like to extend my thanks to Tom for his hard work and dedication over the past year and a half.

"During that time, it has been a privilege to have remained closely involved with the club as a member of the board, and I am delighted to resume the role of chairman today.

“I would like to thank Evangelos Marinakis and my fellow Board members for entrusting me with the position once again, and I look forward to the next exciting chapter in our history.”
