Wolves' Jez Moxey on Football League board

Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey has been elected on to the Football League board.

After a vote of Championship clubs, Moxey – who has been at Wolves for 15 years – joined Brighton chief executive Paul Barber to represent the division on the board.

There are 10 members on the board, led by chairman Greg Clarke.

Moxey said: "It is a privilege and honour to have been voted onto the Football League board by colleagues from Championship clubs.

"I look forward to working with the chairman, chief executive officer and the other directors of the Football League.

"I will do what I can to provide positive support, help and guidance on the various issues and challenges that the league faces.

"Part of the role is to protect and promote the interests of the Championship as well as the league as a whole and I will always keep the clubs at the forefront of my thinking."

Middlesbrough's Keith Lamb is the other Championship representative on the board.

They join Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey, independents Richard Bowker and Debbie Jevans, Millwall's Andy Ambler, Scunthorpe's James Rodwell and Oxford's Ian Lenagan.

Ambler was re-elected after Millwall's relegation from the Championship.

Clarke said: "It gives me great pleasure to welcome Jez and Paul onto the board and to welcome Andy back.

"Each of them has enormous experience in professional football, as well as being widely respected by our clubs. I very much look forward to working with all three of them in the period ahead."

Earlier this month the board recommended to introduce a policy that clubs should interview a black, Asian or minority ethnic candidate when hiring managers or coaches.
