Shaun Harvey gets new role as Wrexham chief leaves in boardroom change

Michael Williamson steps down as Wrexham CEO after two years; Shaun Harvey, a director since the club's takeover, takes the role.

Michael Williamson has left his position as Wrexham CEO after two years in the role. He joined the club in 2024 following their promotion to League One and oversaw back-to-back promotions that took Wrexham to the Championship for the first time since 1978.

Co-chairmen Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds thanked Williamson for his work elevating the club from League One to the Championship. Shaun Harvey, who has been a director at Wrexham since the co-owners' takeover five years ago, has been appointed to replace him. Harvey, 56, previously served as chief executive of the English Football League for six years and held similar roles at Leeds United and Bradford City.

The change comes less than a year after Williamson was named Football Industry Leader of the Year at the Global Football Industry Awards, recognised for his contributions to the club's on-pitch success, academy development, and stadium progress. Wrexham, currently 16th in the Championship with 17 points from 14 games, face Wolves on Saturday.
