Darren Gough has stepped down as Yorkshire’s director of cricket following a review of the club’s operational structure by the new board at Headingley.
The positions of chief executive Stephen Vaughan and first team coach Ottis Gibson also came under scrutiny as Yorkshire look to save up to £1million on current expenditure.
Gough, 53, was identified as the man to lead Yorkshire out of the racism crisis in December 2021, but the team have been hamstrung by disciplinary penalties for historical charges over the past two seasons and with a 48-point handicap finished second bottom in last year’s County Championship.
‘It’s been an absolute honour to work for my boyhood club over the last two seasons,’ Gough said.
‘Having stepped in at a very challenging time, we’ve worked hard to steady the ship and develop our cricket department to ensure we can return to the top tier of English cricket.
