Knights confirm new General Manager, Tom Foy

15th April 2025

Doncaster Knights are pleased to confirm the appointment of Tom Foy as General Manager of Doncaster Knights.

Tom steps into the role with a clear vision to strengthen the club’s commercial and operational performance, working closely with Director of Rugby Sir Ian McGeechan and Head Coach Joe Ford to ensure alignment between the club’s strategic ambitions and rugby operations.

Having previously served as the club’s Head of Commercial, Tom brings a wealth of experience in partnership development, matchday operations, and stakeholder engagement. Under his leadership, the Knights have seen a significant uplift in commercial growth, including the successful renewal and expansion of key sponsorships and partnerships across the board.

Speaking on his appointment, Tom said:

“I’m incredibly proud to step into the role of General Manager at Doncaster Knights. It’s a privilege to represent a club with such strong heritage, ambition, and support from our community. I’m excited to lead the commercial and operational side of the club as we align our off-field strategy with our on-field goals. With a strong team around me and a clear vision ahead, I’m confident we can take the Knights to the next level.”

Club Chairman, Tony De Mulder added:

“Tom has shown outstanding commitment and capability in his time with the Knights. His leadership, drive, and deep understanding of the club make him the ideal person to take on this role. We are confident he will play a key part in shaping a successful future for Doncaster Knights.”

Tom’s appointment comes at a pivotal time as the club looks to build towards ambitious goals, including the proposed expansion of Castle Park’s capacity to support potential promotion opportunities and an enhanced matchday experience.

Tracey Owen who has been a fantastic addition to the commercial department over the last 2 years has been promoted to Head of Commercial and the club has recently appointed Joanna Finucane as Head of Events & Hospitality to lead our events and conferencing business here at Castle Park.

The club would like to congratulate Tom on his new role and look forward to continued progress under his leadership.
