Bill Colvin has quit as Chairman and Director at Dundee FC, due to business commitments in the UK and overseas.

He and his wife Pam first became shareholders in 2011 to help the club exit Administration.

Tim Keyes has agreed to join the board of the football club, and subject to the league's fit and proper person test, this will be confirmed at the next board meeting in July.

Bill Colvin said: "The football club is in a much better financial position and a more stable managerial position than it was when Pam first got me involved back in late 2010, early 2011. "This season's top 6 SPFL finish is where this club should be and I was delighted to see all the hard work done by John Nelms, Paul Hartley and the rest of the team at Dens Park paying off for the fantastic Dee fans.

"I know I leave the club in the very safe hands of John and particularly the Keyes family who will be superb custodians of this famous football club."

Managing Director John Nelms and newly appointed Director Tim Keyes stated: “On behalf of the fans, staff and board of directors, we would like to thank Bill Colvin for his contributions to the success of the Dundee Football Club through his partnership with Football Partners Scotland.

"Bill and Pam have been an integral part of this organization since 2011 and will always be a part of the DFC fabric. We wish the Colvins every success in their endeavours and hope to continue to see them both at Dens Park.

"The board and staff will continue to build upon the success that we have achieved over the past 22 months with the aim to remain in the top six of Scottish football for years to come.”
