Paul Creeden has been appointed the new chief executive of the Jersey FA, who currently play representative games against the likes of Hampshire, Devon and Cornwall in the SW Counties Championship.

But the Channel Islanders' grand plans include liaising with UEFA and FIFA to result in games against the likes of Andorra - who are in England's Euro 2008 qualifying group - Malta, Cyprus and the Faroe Islands.

Creeden, who is also Hampshire's small-sided football development officer, takes up his new role next week after convincing an interview panel in Soho Square he is the man to drive Jersey's football scene forward.
