Liverpool have announced that Peter Moore will take over as the club's chief executive officer in June.

Moore replaces Ian Ayre in the role, with the 53-year-old set to bring an end to his 10-year association with the club today.

Moore is currently the chief competition officer at Electronic Arts, having assumed a number of leadership positions during a decade with the company.

"Liverpool-born Moore will take up his new role in June and report directly to the club's owners, Fenway Sports Group. The appointment completes a 10-month transition plan by FSG and finalises the senior management structure at the club."

The 61-year-old has previously held senior roles with Microsoft, SEGA and Reebok.
