Hawthorn Football Club extends its congratulations to Tim Silvers on his appointment as chief executive officer of the Adelaide Crows.

Silvers has given over 17 years of service to the brown and gold, most recently in the role of chief operating officer.

CEO Justin Reeves said the club was incredibly proud and supportive of Silvers’ appointment and wished him all the best in his next challenge.

What are the "little milestones" that Clarko is searching for?

Tim has been an incredibly, loyal Hawthorn person over a significant period of time and we will always be grateful for his contribution to our club,” Reeves said.

“Over his time in the brown and gold he has played a pivotal role in guiding the club through some successful as well as some challenging times.

“While we miss Tim around Waverley Park,  we are always proud as a club to see our people promoted into senior positions within the industry, whether that be in football or administration.

“We wish Tim, Kelly, Lenny and Ruby all the best for their new adventure in Adelaide.”

Silvers will finalise his time at the Hawks at the end of this week.
