Bobby Copping has joined City as head of commercial - as the club heads into an exciting era off the field.

Bobby joins from Peterborough United, where he led the commercial team after being forced to retire from his playing career in 2021 while just 19 after suffering two mini seizures.

His impressive post-playing career already includes time as general manager of Peterborough United's women's team and roles within the commercial team.

He is co-founder of the Bobby Copping Foundation and a personal development mentor with League Football Education - helping young players coming through.
