Long-serving Doncaster director Peter Hepworth has stepped down from his position on the board.
Hepworth joined the board at Rovers in 2000 when the South Yorkshire club was playing in the Conference at the old Belle Vue ground. He worked on the negotiations with Doncaster Council regarding the move to the Keepmoat stadium in 2007. "As a life-long supporter of the club, I have had 12 very enjoyable years on the board and with the club in the safe hands of John Ryan and chief executive Gavin Baldwin, I felt now was an opportune time to step down," Hepworth said in a statement. "I have many happy memories over this period with the highlights being the promotions at Stoke and at Wembley and the successful move to the Keepmoat Stadium. "I want to wish the current management and all at the club every success in their quest to get us back into the npower Championship. I still live locally and will continue to come to games and would always be there to help if ever needed."
