• Club confirms sudden death of key staff member
• Rowan was appointed to new role in February
Brentford have announced the death of Robert Rowan, the club’s technical director, at the age of 28.
Rowan, who started his career as a scout for Celtic, had been with Brentford since late 2014 and was appointed as the head of football operations in the summer of 2015. He oversaw the establishment of the club’s ‘B’ side following the decision to close their youth academy as a response to the restrictions imposed on them by the Premier League’s elite player performance plan. The Scot was appointed technical director in February.
