Departing James Fowler 'looking forward to future for Kilmarnock' as he thanks club upon leaving role

James Fowler reckons there's a bright future for Kilmarnock looming.

The club legend left his role as head of football operations as part of a club restructure after three years in post.

He guided the Ayrshire club through tenures of Angelo Alessio, Alex Dyer, Tommy Wright and now Derek McInnes.

He was interim manager twice whilst the club looked for replacement bosses.

He said: “I’ve enjoyed being back at the club during one of the most challenging periods in our history as we dealt with the impact of a global pandemic.

“I was delighted to see the club regain our Premiership status and look forward to what the future holds for Killie.

“I would to thank the Board for the opportunity and I’m confident that the team will succeed under the guidance of Derek and his backroom staff.”

A club statement read: "James Fowler has left Kilmarnock Football Club by reason of voluntary redundancy, following a restructure.

"James has served the club well as Head of Football Operations. We thank him for his time with us and wish him every success in the future.

"A Killie legend and cup winning captain, James returned to Rugby Park in November 2019 and led on bringing our Women’s First Team under club control.

"James was passionate about the development of our younger players and helped create enhanced loan pathways for our up and coming prospects to test themselves within the SPFL pyramid and beyond.

"Having made 460 Killie appearances during a distinguished playing career and earned a deserved place in our Hall of Fame, James’ place in Killie history remains assured."
