Swansea City CEO, Tom Gorringe, has shared some personal news with fans in his latest programme notes: his mother has been diagnosed with cancer. In a heartfelt message, Gorringe expressed immense gratitude for his mother’s unwavering support throughout his life and career. He emphasised the influence she’s had on him and the importance of reciprocating that support during her battle. His mother, now a passionate football fan, is watching from home, and Gorringe hopes she’ll soon be strong enough to join the action at Swansea.com Stadium.
While dealing with this personal challenge, Gorringe has been busy at the helm of the club since his appointment in March. Under his leadership, Swansea City has seen several behind-the-scenes changes, including improvements in the academy, ticketing, and retail departments. Notably, retail sales have surged by 43% in the past two months compared to last year, doubling the profitability and strengthening the club’s financial position.
The team is working hard, and Gorringe thanks all involved, especially Ashleigh and Deeza, for their dedication. Amidst his family news, Gorringe remains committed to making Swansea City more competitive on the pitch while bringing positivity to his mum and all Swans fans. Let’s show our Swans spirit and support Tom and his family during this challenging time! 💪🦢❤️
