He said: "Tim has some of the key skills we need to move our club forward and I am sure you will all join us in welcoming Tim.

"Tim has shown a desire to help us, he is a proper football person. He lives in Scarborough and he spends some time in Finland.

"While he was living in Finland he was a director at Tampere United, who had just been promoted to the Finnish Premier League.

"With him as part of the team they went on to win the league title several times and enjoyed several exciting campaigns in the Champions League, so Darren is now not the only one at the club with Champions League experience!"

"We need to look at where we are going in the future. With Tim's experience at a high level we feel he can help us with that."
