“Lee has strong links with sporting communities across Jersey, and his voluntary support of our football teams in the background at the recent Island Games in Orkney was much appreciated.
“It’s clear he has a passion for football and a commitment to the development of our sport in Jersey, particularly the female game. We look forward to working with him over the years ahead.
