Jake Heath, a major figure behind the scenes at West Ham, has said goodbye to the club and started a new career at Tottenham.
He was Head of Supporter Engagement at West Ham for seven years and worked with the Hammers from November 2016 until last month.
Now Heath will transfer his expertise to Tottenham, where he will take on the same role. He officially confirmed the move to Tottenham, which will take effect in February 2024, via his personal LinkedIn account.
Heath’s recruitment coincides with ongoing changes at Tottenham, marked by significant appointments such as Scott Munn as Chief Football Officer and Johan Lange as Sporting Director.
Spurs’ Commercial Director Todd Kline recently resigned from his position to join Chelsea. He was brought in to secure the naming rights to the club’s stadium, but the American manager has failed to secure a contract in almost three years.
Heath’s appointment underlines Tottenham’s commitment to fostering a more proactive and engaging relationship with fans, marking a positive shift in the club’s approach to engaging with supporters.
