Blackburn Rovers' head of recruitment John Park has left his role at Ewood Park, just five months after he returned to the club.

Park had joined Rovers for a second stint in June having previously worked in the position from 2021-2022 but the club confirmed on Wednesday evening he had departed by mutual agreement.

"Rovers would like to thank John for his dedicated service across two spells with the club," a statement said .

"The club will now begin the recruitment process to bring in his replacement, who will work closely alongside Rovers’ senior leadership team at the STC (senior training centre) and the academy."

It comes six months after Blackburn's director of football Gregg Broughton also left the club, with former striker Rudy Gestede arriving and named head of football operations.
