The club has a new chief executive following the appointment of Phil Gordos.

A trustee of the club since the start of 2016, Phil has three boys in the Magic youth programme and is well known to many of you.

A former assistant editor with BBC Sport, the 47-year-old starts his official duties on 2 January.

“It’s a very special club that has done so much good on and off the floor,” says Phil. “I’m looking forward to the job immensely and I cannot wait to get started.”

“It is great to have Phil on board in such an important job” said Joe Forber, a founder member of the club. 

“We have had great successes in the past but there is a lot to be done to flourish as basketball moves forward in a more competitive atmosphere. Phil has shown a great affection for our club and I feel sure he is the person to take us forward”.
