Ospreys name Lance Bradley as new CEO
By Josh Raisey
The Ospreys have announced that Lance Bradley will become their new chief executive officer from Monday, taking over from Nick Garcia, who confirmed his departure in December.
Bradley left his post as Gloucester CEO at the end of last season after four years, having previously been UK managing director of Mitsubishi Motors. During his time at Kingsholm, he navigated the Cherry and Whites through Covid-19, bringing them into profit at the end of the 2021 financial year.
While playing budgets are set to be reduced next season for the Welsh regions, Bradley said that he is impressed with the plans in place.
"I am honoured to be joining Ospreys as its CEO," Bradley said after his appointment was announced. "This is a club with a rich, successful history and a passionate fan base. I am eager to contribute and take the club to new heights.
"The Ospreys is a club full of potential and talent, who are known for their innovation and for being disruptive, making this a very exciting role. I’ve been very impressed with the plans Y11 have outlined to me. I look forward to meeting with fans and business partners in the coming weeks to share those plans and hear their thoughts.”
James Davies-Yandle, Ospreys and Y11 Sports & Media owner said: “Lance Bradley steps into his role at a pivotal moment for Ospreys, and his appointment marks a strategic enhancement to the club's competitiveness and overall standing in the rugby community. The Ospreys community can expect Bradley to bring fresh perspectives, strategic initiatives, and a commitment to creating a culture of sustained success.”

Agreed. As a Saffa I have much respect for the ABs. I also have to say given any option I would ONLY prefer to lose to ABs. To lose to England is probably the most embarrassing think to happen to either of us.
There was a time when both of us lost to England and we both hated it. Thankfully those days are behind us. Kudos to you guys, kudos to ABs. But dear old BS seems to hate us Boks. No idea why.
Go to commentsI got the sense that holding him to it was kickback from SB and the rfu smarting at being jilted quite so soon, so unexpectedly and so publicly.
Seem to remember that they spoke to Gustard before appointing Joe and you really have to think he would have come in at a higher level?
