The co-opted role will last until the trust's next Annual General Meeting, which is set to be held in early December. At that point, the newly-elected board member can decide whether to stand for full election on a three-year term.
The trust's board currently consists of Billy Atkinson and Matt Spooner, who represent the trust on the club's Holdings and 1921 boards, as well as chair Dan MacLennan plus Chris Armstrong, Kieron Bulman, Ross Parkinson, Martin Robson, Riegan Thompson, Claire Winder and Tony Wightman.
