BURNLEY FC director Jon Wilkinson has resigned from the board for personal reasons.

Wilkinson first joined the Turf Moor board as an associate director in August 2003 prior to being appointed a full director in April 2004.

A financial expert, Mr Wilkinson's Blackburn-based company Haydock Finance has proved to be successful in East Lancashire.

Representing the club, he was heavily involved in dealing with creditors during the 2002/03 season.

Mr Wilkinson's resignation was formally conveyed at last night's AGM, while no new director has stepped up to take his place.

Shareholders at the AGM unanimously voted to re-elect directors Clive Holt, Chris Duckworth and Ray Griffiths.
