Yorkshire County Cricket Club have appointed Stephen Vaughan as their new CEO, while England legend Darren Gough has been permanently appointed as Managing Director.
Vaughan moves across from rugby union, where he spent three years at Wasps before becoming one of 167 employees to lose his job when the club entered administration last month. A former professional footballer at Walsall, Vaughan replaces Mark Arthur who resigned last year over the Azeem Rafiq racism scandal.
"Yorkshire County Cricket Club is one of the most iconic sporting institutions in the world and it's truly an honour to take up this position," Vaughan said. "Without shying away from the significant challenges we have faced over the past year, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the future, both on and off the pitch.
