Tom Brady is trading one football for another, taking on a new role with a struggling soccer team that will see him head to Birmingham in the UK.
Birmingham City Football Club announced early Thursday that Brady, 46, would be joining the club as a minority owner and adviser.
The star quarterback announced the news in a video on Twitter, which has since rebranded to"X." He hadhis retirement in February 2022, but his time off the field lasted just 40 days before he reversed the decision the following month and returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The club plays in the second tier of English soccer, the Championship, and finished 17th last season. The team has not played in the top flight since being relegated from the Premier League in 2011, though Brady's arrival may only add to a growing optimism around the club after years of financial struggles.
