Manchester FA can announce that Michael Brown will leave his Marketing & Communications role at the end of June. 

Michael joined Manchester FA in September 2015 and we would like to thank him for his contribution to grassroots football. We wish him well in his new role at Southport FC where he will become the new Head of Media & Online Content.

Colin Bridgford, CEO of Manchester FA said: "I would like to wish Michael the very best for the future and thank him for his contributions in the time he's been with us."

On his departure, Michael said: "I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at Manchester FA, a place where I've learnt and experienced a lot. To work for one of the best County FA's in the country, it has given me so many opportunities to develop and I would recommend it to anyone who has a passion for media to apply once the job is advertised."

Manchester FA will early next week announce the process for recruiting a new member to our team.
