A footballer-turned-podcast star has been named as manager of a lower-league Scottish team as part of a bold revamp.
Simon Ferry, who founded the popular Open Goal podcast series, has launched a partnership with Lowland League outfit Broomhill. The venture will see the team rebranded as Open Goal Broomhill FC with the arrangement promising to "provide unprecedented mass exposure to the Scottish Lowland League ".
A press release confirming the news said a variety of club content would be created and distributed through Open Goal with plans for a monthly fly-on-the-wall documentary as the club aims for future promotion into the SPFL. Ferry, 34, played for the likes of Swindon Town, Portsmouth and Dundee before achieving success with the podcast series in recent years. His last playing role was at Peterhead.
