Tom Brady: NFL legend becomes minority owner of Birmingham City

Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has become a minority owner of Championship side Birmingham City.

The NFL legend, who retired in February, has entered a partnership with new Birmingham owner Knighthead Capital Management. He will become chairman of a new advisory board at St Andrew's.

The club say Brady will "apply his extensive leadership experience and expertise across several components of the club, including working alongside the sports science department to advise on health, nutrition, wellness, and recovery systems and programs".

He said on the club's official website: "Birmingham is an iconic club with so much history and passion and to be part of the Blues is a real honour for me.

"BCFC is built on teamwork and determination and I'm excited to work alongside the board, management and players to make our second-city club second to none.

"I've been part of some amazing teams in my day, and I'm looking forward to applying my perspective to create that same success here in Birmingham."
