Jim Rodwell (born 20 November 1970 in Lincoln, England) is the former chairman of Boston United and also a former footballer who played centre-half for the club.

Career

Rodwell began his career playing junior football for

World Student Games in Fukuoka, Japan. In August 1996, he became Halesowen's record sale when Rushden & Diamonds paid £40,000 for his services. An integral part of Rushden's rise up the pyramid into the football league, he was named as the club's player of the year on two occasions.[1]

In 2002, Rodwell also came third on

ITV's Britain's Brainiest Footballer quiz.[2]

Rodwell moved to

Director of football and eventually becoming Chairman in June 2006. In July 2007, after a turbulent time[3]
Rodwell resigned as chairman in the wake of the club being sold to Chestnut Homes.

On 11 February 2010 Rodwell became chief executive of Notts County after a buyout of County by Ray Trew.[4][5] Rodwell left Notts County in March 2015 to take up the position of Chief Executive Officer at Scunthorpe United Football Club,[6] and then on 22 April 2020 he was announced as chief executive of Sunderland.[7] He left that post on 19 February 2021, after Sunderland was taken over by Kyril Louis-Dreyfus.[8] Rodwell took the job as Interim CEO at Peterborough United whilst they searched for a permanent CEO after Bob Symns retirement.

From February 2022 until July 2022, Rodwell served as the interim CEO for Hull City.[9][10]

Rodwell has sat on the board of both the EFL and the FA Council.[7]

On 20 December 2022, Rodwell was named chief operating officer of Charlton Athletic.[11] The failure of a proposed takeover of the club led to Rodwell's departure on 10 February 2023.[12]
