“I would like to place on record my personal congratulations to Kevin on being given such a prestigious position, and our thanks and appreciation go to him for the five years’ service he has delivered as CEO of the Northamptonshire FA.”

It is anticipated that Shoemake will commence his new role at the Birmingham FA on May 2, and he will formally leave the Northamptonshire FA on April 29.
