Lance Bradley to leave Ospreys

Ospreys Rugby today announce the departure of Chief Executive Officer Lance Bradley. After two and a half years with the Region, Bradley has decided step back from the Welsh rugby environment.

Bradley commented “There’s a saying in rugby that you always want to leave the shirt in a better place than you found it. Despite an incredibly challenging last 12 months, I feel I’ve done that with Ospreys.

“When I joined in 2024 we had no stadium, our finances were in poor shape and although we had a loyal hardcore of fans, their numbers were dwindling.

“Next season we move into our own stadium at St Helen’s, our finances are looking better than ever, and season ticket sales are already by far the best they’ve been for more than a decade.

“Furthermore, the most important part of any rugby club, its playing side, is developing nicely – building on our status as Wales’ most successful Region.

“I’d like to thank everyone at and associated with Ospreys for their friendship and support. I wish the very best for the club in the future.”

Ospreys Rugby wishes to put on record its thanks to Lance for what he’s achieved in his tenure as CEO. We will make an announcement on his replacement in due course.
