Leeds United: Whites confirm Glover as new head of recruitment

LEEDS UNITED have officially confirmed Martyn Glover as the club’s new head of recruitment, as expected, with the vastly-experienced operator being the latest backroom appointment at Elland Road.

His arrival follows on from the addition of Stuart Hayton as the new club secretary of United, with Hayton having worked in previous roles at Liverpool and Wigan Athletic.

A club statement on the appoint of Glover read: “We would like to welcome Martyn Glover to Leeds United as the club’s new head of recruitment.

“Martyn, who arrives from West Ham United, will work closely with head coach Uwe Rosler and will be responsible for all aspects of the club’s scouting and recruitment.

“Martyn boasts a wealth of experience and expertise in his role, having spent four years at Upton Park and 13 years with Blackburn Rovers prior to that.”

The lowdown on Glover:

Glover worked as assistant chief scout at Blackburn Rovers before being promoted under the reign of Sam Allardyce to head of player recruitment at Ewood Park in August 2009 when Rovers also named Steve Kean as first-team coach following Karl Robinson’s exit to MK Dons.

Prior to stepping up in 2009, Glover had worked at Blackburn for 11 years, holding a number of positions in recruitment and development with the academy and at the club’s senior training centre.


On Glover’s appointment, Allardyce said: “Martyn has been with the club over a long period and has shown exceptional dedication to the task of recruitment.

“He has moved up from assistant chief scout to this new challenge and he is taking on a vastly important role, crucial to the future of the club.”

Before joining Blackburn, Glover used to work as the director of physical education at Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School in the town.

In his time at Blackburn, Glover assisted chief scout, Mike Rigg and during his latter time in that role, he scouted players aged 15 to 21 at home and abroad before being promoted when Allardyce took over.


Glover went onto link up with Allardyce when he moved to West Ham as head of player recruitment in 2011.

But his days at Upton Park were effectively numbered in the spring when former Everton and Sunderland scout Tony Henry was put in charge of the Hammers’ summer recruitment policy - with Allardyce expected to leave at the end of last season.

Glover was a trusted part of Allardyce’s backroom team at West Ham, with his Linked In page saying he was responsible for all aspects of scouting, opposition analysis and player recruitment at Upton Park, with his role ending earlier this month.

Glover reveals he will be working closely with Salerno, discusses 'biggest strength'

Martyn Glover says the biggest strengths he will bring to Leeds United are 'organisational ability' and the contacts he has built after 17 years in the game, according to BBC Radio Leeds.

The former West Ham United man was appointed Leeds' new head of recruitment on Monday afternoon and gave an in-depth interview in which he - sounding rather positive indeed - outlined his plans at Elland Road.

And Glover says his main strength are his ability to organise, something very much lacking at the Yorkshire side in recent months, and the contacts he has built up after many years in the game, some of which were spent at Blackburn Rovers and West Ham.


He said: "I've always been involved in the recruitment side. My strengths will be organisational ability and the contacts I've built up over 17 years in the game. That's the key bit.

"It's about players that fit what you're looking for at this moment in time."

The Whites' new head of recruitment also discussed sporting director Nicola Salerno, who looks as though he will remain with the club, and revealed he will look to have a co-operative relationship with the Italian.

Indeed, Glover has already been in contact with Salerno and says he will try and utilise the contacts he already has in place with Leeds.

Glover explained: "With Nicola, I literally just spoke to him five minutes ago. He's around a little bit a the minute so I'm trying to get some dialogue with him.


"I'll try and use some of his contacts, as well, which have been fine."

Leeds have already signed Lee Erwin this summer but plenty more work will no doubt be done in the transfer market between now and the start of next season.

Bra CV!  :)

Godt å lese at Salerno kan forsette i Leeds, siste vi trenger er at vi ser oss blinde på enhver tilgjengelig pubspillere...

Forhåpentligvis kan spillere logistikken bli en forse for Leeds framover, sammen med ungdomsarbeidet er det laget noe av grunnlaget for utvikling av klubben
