Stewart Regan has resigned from his position as the chief executive of Yorkshire County Cricket Club.

The 46 year-old will remain with the county until the end of September before taking up an identical role with the Scottish Football Association on October 5.

Regan spent four years at Headingley. He said: “It has been a great honour and privilege to be chief executive of Yorkshire CCC, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the club.

“I will look back with pride at the progress we have made both on and off the field.

“In so many ways we have a great organisation with passionate supporters, and I sincerely hope we can win some silverware this season to top it off.”

Colin Graves, Yorkshire’s chairman, said: “We will be sorry to see Stewart go, but the position he has been offered is a huge opportunity for him. We all fully understand his decision to move on.

“He has contributed enormously to the development of the club over the past four years.

“I have told my Board colleagues that I intend to take the role of executive chairman for a period of at least six months after Stewart’s departure, after which we will then decide on the most appropriate structure to manage the club going forward.”
