West Brom chief executive Mark Jenkins announces departure

West Brom chief executive Mark Jenkins is leaving the club.

Jenkins, who will bring to an end a 14-year association with the club, will be replaced by Stoke City's chief financial officer Martin Goodman, who worked with chairman John Williams at Blackburn and head coach Tony Pulis at the Potters.

His last game in the role will be the home match against Manchester United on December 17.

He told the Express & Star: “This came down to feeling like the right time to go. The change of ownership feels like a natural moment for parting.

“I've watched the Premier League become one of the biggest competitions in global sports.

"We were late to the party and it has grown massively but the primary objective was to get Albion into the Premier League and stabilised at this level. That has been achieved.

“Now it is time for fresh ideas and fresh momentum to carry the club forward. But it has been a wonderful experience and I would do it all over again."
