EVESHAM United chairman Ged Bearcroft has resigned from his role due to increasing commitments outside of the club.
Bearcroft initially stepped into the chairman’s role following the departure of former Evesham chief Chris Wright.
Voted back in as Robins chairman at the club’s last Annual General Meeting (AGM) Bearcroft has now decided to step down as chairman ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Evesham have confirmed current vice chairman Mick Brennan will serve as interim chairperson.
Bearcroft said: “Evesham United have a fantastic group of people, mainly volunteers who carry out a lot of hard work, and a very staunch group of supporters who travel up and down the country in support of the team. I would like to think I have grown a wonderful bond with these people.
“To move forward, I believe the club needs someone who has more time to devote to the business, helping the club diversify and secure a strong position for the future.
“I personally cannot commit enough time. I need to concentrate on my business and my employees.”
Bearcroft also composed a formal letter addressed to the club’s board members to express the decision made ‘was incredibly difficult’ but felt his position had become ‘untenable’ due to increasing commitments outside of the club.
During his time at the helm, Evesham secured promotion back to Step Three of the non-league football pyramid.
The club avoided relegation on the final day of the 2025/26 campaign to secure a second successive season in the Southern League Premier South.
Bearcroft ‘hopes to offer help’ to the club wherever he can moving forward.
A club statement said: “Evesham United Football Club wishes to place on record its sincere thanks to Ged for his hard work, dedication, and the immense success achieved during his tenure as chairman.
“The club wishes him the absolute best with his business and future undertakings and welcomes Mick Brennan into his interim role as the club plans its next steps.”
