Sheffield Wednesday have appointed Simon Wilson as sporting director, a newly created role at Hillsborough. The club said in a statement that he joins following relegation from the Championship.

Wilson arrives after leaving Stockport County at the end of last season.

He initially joined Stockport as director of football before later becoming chief executive, overseeing a period of progress at Edgeley Park.

During his tenure the club rose from the National League to League One and reached last month’s League One play-off final, where they were beaten by Bolton Wanderers.

Wilson has previously worked with Manchester City, Sunderland, Southampton, Leicester City, Sparta Prague and Ajax.
