The FA’s commercial director has resigned after just 18 months in the role following their controversial decision to sell the international TV rights for the FA Cup to the Premier League.

Mail Sport has learned that Navin Singh resigned on Friday to take up a new role as Chief Operating Officer at Six Nations rugby.

Singh is the second FA commercial director to leave in less than two years following the departure of his predecessor, Kathryn Swarbrick, who also left after less than two years as commercial and marketing director to join adidas.
