Jim Rosenthal joins Northampton Town's board
The sports presenter has backed the Cobblers for some time
Northampton Town have appointed Jim Rosenthal to the club's Board of Directors.
The hugely respected Rosenthal has enjoyed a long and successful broadcasting career in both TV and radio, presenting many sports including football, rugby, F1, boxing and athletics for the BBC, ITV, Channel 5, MUTV and Amazon Prime as well as hosting events for UEFA, and has twice been named as the Royal Television Society's Sports Presenter of the Year.
"Jim is a long standing friend and colleague and we are delighted to welcome him to the Board," said Chairman Kelvin Thomas.
"He has been a regular at our games over the last few years and it makes sense to welcome Jim to the club in an official capacity.
"He is one of the most respected men in sport and is very, very well connected across both the sports and media industries.
"He has a wealth of knowledge and experience that we can lean on and input that we can benefit from.”
Rosenthal added: "I am looking forward to help in the development of the club in any way I can. I have enjoyed watching the team and the club progress under the stewardship of Kelvin Thomas and David Bower, both of whom I have known for many years."
