Ben Strang leaves Cambridge United

Ben Strang has left his role as Sporting Director of Cambridge United by mutual agreement.

Strang joined the club in 2011 as Chief Scout, and played a pivotal role in assembling the club’s 2013/14 National League promotion team, before spending two years in the role of Head of Academy Recruitment at Norwich City.

He returned to the U’s in 2016 as Sporting Director, helping lead the club - which is now in its fourth season in League One - to its highest level for more than 20 years.

Paul Barry, Cambridge United Majority Owner:

"On behalf of everyone associated with the club, I would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Ben for his huge contribution to everything we have achieved on and off the pitch over the last decade and more.

"He has brought some great players to Cambridge United who have helped create many great memories for us all and he leaves the football club in much better shape than when he joined it."

Cambridge United CEO Alex Tunbridge will oversee the club’s football operations on an interim basis, as the U's battle to avoid League One relegation.
