New CEO

Here you go, I dont think he is related to Jeff Winter the Ref.


Julian Winter (born 6 September 1965) is a former football player and administrator who is the chief executive of Swansea City football club. Born in Huddersfield, he played as a defender for his home-town club Huddersfield Town (5 goals in 93 games) and Scunthorpe United, as well as being on the books of Sheffield United. Since retiring from playing, Winter has acted as an executive for Grimsby Town, Watford, Sheffield United, Huddersfield Town, and Swansea City.

He sustained career-ending ligament damage after 10 operations in four years, he finally retired from the game. After his retirement Winter graduated from Sheffield Hallam University with a degree and returned to football, working for Grimsby Town before moving to Watford and serving as community director and then deputy C.E.O.

In December 2008, Winter was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Watford following the resignation of Mark Ashton. He subsequently left his post in June 2011 and joined Sheffield United the following September as Chief Executive. After a year in the post Winter left the Blades in September 2012, only to return to the role less than a year later. After new owners purchased 50 percent of United, Winter left his post for the second time in December 2013.

Winter became chief executive of Huddersfield Town in 2016 before departing in 2020.

One of his recommendations on Linkedin includes the following
As CEO of SUFC, Julian was charged with continuing to deliver a sustainable football club and with the securing of new investment into the Club.................His integrity and honesty shone through at all times and his professionalism has allowed the new joint venture partnership to establish a new management structure to take the Club forward. I am confident Julian will make a positive contribution wherever he goes from here. At SUFC, he will be missed..
So we look forward to seeing how he gets on here.
