Widnes Vikings have announced the appointment of Roddy Snedden to their board of directors.

Snedden, who is the owner of one of the club's main partners Electrod UK Limited, has become the latest member to join the board of the Super League outfit.

Vikings chief executive James Rule told the club's official website: "Once we announced that we were looking to build a Board of Directors, we were inundated with expressions of interest.

"Roddy stood out as a man that had the business expertise, business network and passion, to really assist us in our evolution."

Snedden added: "As a lifelong sports fan joining the board at Widnes Vikings was an easy decision to make, as the club's spirit and philosophy matches my own ambitions. I look forward to being part of the team that will help take the Widnes Vikings back to a position that they are more accustomed to and the fans deserve."

Snedden's appointment comes following the arrival of Matt Beech.
