Sports Recruitment International

Well known television presenter and regular contributor to BBC news, Sky news, CNN and BBC Radio 5 Live and former Executive Director of the FA, David Davies OBE, has joined forces with leading recruitment specialist firm Sports Recruitment Group to form SR Partners as a specialist consulting and executive search service focused on the global sports industry with particular emphasis on Football.

David Davies commented, "Having worked alongside the Sports Recruitment team advising on the restructuring of the Hong Kong FA in 2011 and, more recently, on the appointment of a new Chief Executive for Brighton and Hove Albion it was clear that there was an exciting opportunity to work together on similar projects. In particular the opportunities arising from offices in Switzerland, Singapore and Australia as well as here in London, opens up a number of different avenues where I can draw on my experience in Football and across a wide range of other sports. Sports Recruitment's specialist knowledge and global experience in sports consulting and executive search makes this an exciting partnership"

Working closely with Sports Recruitment Group's Chairman, Michael Squires, Founder, Chris King and Chief Operating Officer, Jim Chaplin, SR Partners is a fully integrated part of the Group and will draw on recent experience of working with leading football clients such as Arsenal and Liverpool in the UK and Asia, Juventus and AS Monaco in Continental Europe and further afield with the Hong Kong FA, Gabala FC in Azerbaijan and the Football Federation Australia.

Michael Squires added "We are delighted to formalise our already excellent working relationship with David with the launch of SR Partners and our entire team looks forward to drawing on David's vast knowledge and experience not only in Football but across the wider range of sports, Broadcast and Media."
