Head of recruitment Darnbrough departs Stoke
Stoke City have parted company with head of recruitment Lee Darnbrough after just eight months. Darnbrough was appointed in June 2024 having spent seven years with the Potters Championship rivals Hull City. Stoke signed 10 first-team players on permanent and loan deals in the summer and two more during the winter window, which proved to be Darnbrough's last. "Lee has our sincere thanks for his efforts and dedication during his time at Stoke City. We wish him well for the future," Stoke sporting director Jon Walters told the club website. "The process to identify a new recruitment lead for the Club is now underway. We will inform supporters once a new appointment is made." The decision leaves Stoke looking for their third head of recruitment in under a year after Jared Dublin left the bet365 Stadium last May before joining Hull three months later.
