Colin Sexstone says that it was a "pleasure" to be the chairman of Bristol City for over 11 years as he prepares to step down at the end of the month.

Bristol City chairman Colin Sexstone has announced that he will leave his post at the Championship club at the end of this month.

The 63-year-old has decided to call time on his 11-and-half-year stint with the Robins as Keith Dawe is lined up to replace him.

Majority shareholder Steve Lansdown told the club's official website: "Colin can look back at his time with Bristol City with pride. To be stepping down as the club is entering its sixth consecutive season in the Championship is a great legacy."

Sexstone added: "The new board of directors has settled in extremely well over the last 12 months and it is now clear that a full-time executive chairman is not required.

"It has been a huge pleasure and privilege to work for Bristol City over the last 11-and-a-half years and I wish the club every success in the future, especially regarding the new stadium at Ashton Vale in which I have been so deeply involved."

Sexstone's replacement, Dawe, has worked at Ashton Gate since 1996.
