A FORMER media chief at Bolton Wanderers Football Club has landed a new role at a leading sports agency.

Danny Reuben, who spent six years as head of media at the Reebok Stadium, is now the first head of media at Blue Crocodile.

He has also worked for former Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce.

Mr Reuben, who has held senior roles at Burnley Football Club and Leeds Rhinos, said: “I am delighted to be joining Blue Crocodile at such an early stage in its development.

“I am relishing the prospect of establishing Blue Crocodile into one of the country's leading sports agency.”

The Leeds agency combines managing sports stars and events with developing commercial opportunities for sporting teams and venues.
