Andy Anson, the head of England's failed bid to host the 2018 World Cup, has been appointed as an independent director of the British Olympic Association.

Anson, who previously held the roles of commercial director of Manchester United and chief executive of the ATP Tour, was selected to fill one of two independent BOA director positions.

He will be joined by commercial lawyer Denise Jagger as non-executive directors on the 16-person board, taking the voluntary positions on a two-year term.

"I am thrilled to be able to add my commercial and sports management experience to the BOA board to benefit Team GB athletes in London 2012 and beyond," Anson said.

"I will use my global commercial insight from my work in football, tennis and the media to provide advice and guidance to support the wider family of Olympic sports."
