Match-going West Ham fans will be aware that Jake Heath was the head of Supporter Services.

But he has now left the Irons for Tottenham.

However there’s good news about a West Ham replacement as the key club figure joins rivals Spurs.

The good news is that the replacement being lined up – according to Whetstone – is a West Ham fan who currently works for either Arsenal, Chelsea, Palace, Fulham or Brentford.

“After seven years at West Ham, Jake Heath, Head of Supporter Services and SLO, has left to join the club he actually supports (Spurs) as Head of Supporter Engagement,” Whetstone said alongside pictures of Heath and his LinkedIn profile showing the job switch.
