Birmingham City have confirmed that minority investor Tom Brady has departed the Championship club.
The Blues shared a statement on Monday night confirming the surprise news, saying: "Birmingham City Football Club expresses its sincere gratitude to Tom Brady for his involvement with and unwavering support for the Club over the last three years.
"It was truly amazing to have someone with Tom’s experience and passion associated with the Club, and the Club looks forward to continuing to build on that foundation from the training ground to the Birmingham community."
Brady was brought to the club by the Knighthead ownership group shortly after they acquired the Blues back in 2023 and he participated in a five-part Amazon Prime documentary, 'Built in Birmingham: Brady and the Blues'.

The 49-year-old, an NFL legend after winning seven Super Bowl titles, was brought in to share his experience and star appeal after a glittering career in the United States.
Blues chairman, Tom Wagner, said at the time: "Tom Brady joining the Birmingham City team is a statement of intent. We are setting the bar at world class.
"Tom is both investing [as well as] committing his time and extensive expertise.
"As chair of the advisory board Tom will have a direct impact on the club. The men's, women's, and academy teams are going to benefit from [his] knowledge.
"The goal that Tom has committed to is to make Birmingham City a respected leader in nutrition, health, wellness, and recovery across the world of football."
Brady's departure comes at a time where Birmingham City have established themselves as the early pacesetters in the Championship, with Chris Davies' side currently top on goal difference.
