Warwickshire CCC recruit Dan Ashworth to Cricket Audit Committee to support High Performance development

Ashworth joins the Cricket Audit Committee with immediate effect and will undertake the honorary role alongside his full-time role with Brighton & Hove Albion, with both clubs benefitting from sharing elite sports knowledge and insight across coaching, recruitment and development.

He is one of the most respected Technical Directors in world football having joined Brighton from the FA, in 2019, where he led the England DNA project to help create winning national teams at all levels.

Under his tenure, England achieved men’s World Cup wins at under-17 and under-20 level. At senior level the men’s team reached fourth place at the 2018 World Cup and the women’s senior team finished third at the 2015 World Cup. Ashworth is also well known locally for his time as Technical Director at West Bromwich Albion and he previously worked as Head of Youth Development at Peterborough United and Cambridge United following a playing career with Norwich City.

“Dan has been working at the highest level of football for several years and he has been instrumental in developing teams that have achieved success on the world stage. Being able to tap into his skills, experience and vision for creating success could be game changing for Warwickshire CCC.

“In addition to providing regularly input to the Cricket Audit Committee, Dan will mentor the coaches and Cricket Management Team, providing opportunities for them to experience new high-performance environments in football.”

The addition of Ashworth to the Cricket Audit Committee takes this group to six members, including Warwickshire CCC Director of Cricket Paul Farbrace, Chief Executive Stuart Cain, Chairman Mark McCafferty and long-standing members John Dodge and John Winspear.
