JEFF Mostyn has become a trustee of the AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust.

Mostyn has taken up the role with immediate effect and will be involved in all aspects of governance for the trust.

He told the club website: “I have always loved going out into the community and ensuring that both myself and we, as a football club, give back.

"Within this role, I aim to harness the football club’s success to ensure we do all we can to have a positive impact on those in the local community.

“Steve (Cuss) and his staff do a fantastic job, touching the lives of so many people and it is a real honour to be involved in the great work they do.”

Steve Cuss, head of the Community Sports Trust, said he felt Mostyn’s involvement would be hugely beneficial to the club and wider community.

“Jeff has always been really interested in the community work and is a big advocate of the work we do,” he said. "It’s a natural progression for him to take on this new role and it’s one he will embrace.

“We’re absolutely delighted – the experience, direction and support he can offer myself and the rest of the trust is crucial and he will be a massive role model at the events and schools.”
