Influential EFL role for Peterborough United chairman
Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has become an EFL powerbroker.
MacAnthony has been elected in to the EFL board as a League One divisional representative along with Barnsley’s Neerav Parekh. They replace Liam Scully of Lincoln City and Julian Tagg of Exeter City, following their clubs’ respective promotion and relegation from the division.
Parekh has been an investor in Barnsley since 2017, and chairman since 2022, while MacAnthony has been Posh chairman since 2006. They will serve 3-year terms on the board.
EFL chair, Rick Parry, said: “I’d like to congratulate Neerav and Darragh on their election as League One divisional representatives. “Our divisional representatives play a vital role in advocating for clubs, and their election comes at an important time for the EFL as we continue our work to protect the pyramid , while also addressing the many challenges facing all levels of the game.”
The new Board members join EFL Chair Rick Parry, CEO Trevor Birch, Championship divisional representatives Peter Ridsdale (Preston North End), Neil Bausor (Middlesbrough) and Zoe Webber (Norwich City), and independent non-executive director Caroline Artis.
