Luton’s head of scouting is one of three members of staff to depart Kenilworth Road.
Hatters announce exits at the end of the season.
Luton Town have announced that Phil Chapple, head of scouting operations, is one of three members of the club’s administration staff to leave Kenilworth Road.
The former Cambridge and Charlton defender joined the Hatters in February 2021 after working in similar capacities at Brighton and Fulham, and he is joined in his departure by secretary Chris Clark, who is moving to Premier League champions Liverpool, and commercial director Chris Bell. A statement on Luton’s official website said: “As previously reported in matchday programme notes ahead of the Coventry fixture last month, we say farewell to long-serving club secretary Chris Clark, who is set to take up an exciting new role as head of player status and administration at Premier League champions Liverpool.” “Chris joined the Hatters in September 2016 from Stevenage, where he had previously played at first-team level for Charlton and QPR academies. He has built a reputation as one of the top administrators in the English game over the past nine seasons in Bedfordshire. Commercial director Chris Bell is also leaving Kenilworth Road, five-and-a-half years after arriving from rugby union club Wasps, initially as head of commercial before becoming a director a year later having been a valued member of the executive team.
“Additionally, head of scouting operations Phil Chapple has recently departed his role in the recruitment department. The former Cambridge United and Charlton defender joined the Hatters in February 2021 after spells in similar positions with the Addicks, Fulham, Brighton & Hove Albion, Stoke and Norwich City.”
Town CEO Gary Sweet added: “On behalf of the board, I’d want to thank all three significant members of staff for their valuable efforts over the years. All three have made major contributions to our recent history, and we express our heartfelt gratitude and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.
