After months of speculation, Yeovil Town now have a new owner in the form of local businessman Martin Hellier.
Former chairman Scott Priestnall had previously announced a group called SU Glovers, headed by Matt Ugla and former England Rugby Union international Paul Sackey, who were unveiled as custodians.
However, Uggla was unable to get the deal over the line and Hellier, a long-time sponsor of the club, has now agreed a deal to purchase the Glovers, who were relegated to National League South in the 2022-23 season after being a Championship club as recently as 2014.
Hellier has also confirmed that he intends to buy back Huish Park, which was previously sold to South Somerset District Council, and has made £2million available to invest in the club.
In addition to this, he also announced that Mark Cooper will remain as manager and the Glovers will remain full-time, as they embark on their first season in the sixth tier since 1997.
