Southampton FC has appointed Joe Shields to the role of Head of Senior Recruitment

Shields, 35, joins the Saints following a nine-year stint at Manchester City, where his final title was Head of Academy and Recruitment. Before City, he held scouting and recruitment roles at Crystal Palace and Fulham.
