Former NFL star Tom Brady has become a minority owner of English Championship club Birmingham City.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion, recognised as one of the sporting greats, has partnered with the club's holding company Knighthead Capital Management LLC and becomes chairman of a new advisory board.

The club say Brady will "apply his extensive leadership experience and expertise across several components of the club, including working alongside the sports science department to advise on health, nutrition, wellness, and recovery systems and programs".

Brady said: "Birmingham is an iconic club with so much history and passion and to be part of the Blues is a real honour for me.

"BCFC is built on teamwork and determination and I'm excited to work alongside the board, management and players to make our second-city club second to none.

"I’ve been part of some amazing teams in my day, and I’m looking forward to applying my perspective to create that same success here in Birmingham."

Here we go! Proud to be part of the Blues family
