We are delighted to announce the appointment of north-east businessman Alastair Donald to the board of Cove Rangers Football Club.

A former chairman and vice-chairman of Forfar Athletic, the fifty-nine year-old stepped down at Station Park in January 2024 due to work commitments, ending a decade and a half with the Angus side. He also relinquished a position on the board of the SPFL at that time.

Now, he believes he is in a better position to return to football:

“I had turned down a couple offers which I didn’t feel were right for me, but I met with Keith Moorhouse, who I have known for years and have always got on well with, and we had a good chat through the options.”

“At the end of it all, I felt this was too good an offer to turn down, Cove Rangers have always been highly-regarded within the SPFL, and I would hope I can make a valuable contribution to the club.

“I’ve missed my football drug, I’m excited by this opportunity, and I can’t wait to get started.”

Having built-up and sold his company, Astute Group, Alastair now operates as a business consultant advising on mergers and acquisitions, and has a wide range of contacts across the region and beyond.

Chairman, Keith Moorhouse, believes that skillset will benefit the club greatly:

“Alastair has vast experience both in football and the business world, and his knowhow gained from three years serving on the SPFL board will also be an asset.

“He is an impressive guy with excellent credentials, and I have no doubt he will be a valuable addition in the boardroom.”

Everyone at Balmoral Stadium would like to extend Alastair a warm welcome, and we look forward to working with him.
