PETERBOROUGH promoter Ged Rathbone is set to stay at the club ahead of their return to the Premiership in 2019.
Rathbone has sold the Panthers to King’s Lynn owner Keith Chapman but will still be involved as they return to the top-flight for the first time since 2013.
Said Rathbone: “I am delighted to be entering into this commercial arrangement with Keith Chapman.
“I would also like to thank our loyal fans for their continued support while the business has been for sale and while we have been getting ourselves ready for this great opportunity.
“I am already busy considering our rider choices, and options, for 2019 and look forward to sharing our news in the early New Year.”
