Announcing the appointment, Pat Compton, Chairman of Club Rossie, said, “The appointment of a Commercial Director is an important development in the evolution of Club Rossie. Thanks to the fantastic support of Roscommon supporters, Clubs and Businesses we are now generating significant funds and recurring income. This needs to be managed and grown. This appointment will help Club Rossie deliver additional revenue in the coming years. 

Aidan has agreed to take the position on a voluntary basis for a trial period so we can gauge if the role of commercial director merits a full-time position within Roscommon GAA. To ensure this is a sustainable position we will also review the role in terms of setting up the right structures and related governance procedures.

Aidan Brady is the ideal appointment with a significant business track record stretching back over 25 years. Since he joined the Club Rossie team in 2016 revenue generated from business members has grown dramatically. Aidan was also the project manager of the Win a House in Dublin campaign which generated just over €1.4m. We’re delighted that Aidan is taking up this role and look forward to working with him over coming years”.
