FORMER Mayo player Tom Parsons has been appointed as the new CEO of the Gaelic Players Association.
Parsons has been a member of the GPA’s Nation al Executive Committee since 2019 and has also been on the Board of Directors for the last two years. He will replace Paul Flynn in the role with Antrim man Ciarán Barr set to act as interim CEO until Parsons officially takes up the position.
“I am absolutely delighted and honoured to be appointed as the CEO of the GPA,” said Parsons.
“I truly believe in the great work of the Association and, from personal experience, the GPA has supported me in my sporting, personal and professional life since my debut with Mayo in 2008.
“As a player, I feel I have experienced nearly all the challenges, highs and lows a player can face. I know how important it is to have an association that unconditionally cares for every player. I’m committed to build on the great work of our previous CEO Paul Flynn and I’m privileged to have the opportunity to work with a dynamic, dedicated team in the GPA who have the player at the heart of all decisions.”
