Peter Storrie's reign at Portsmouth has come to an end after the club announced that he had stepped down as their chief executive.

Portsmouth's administrator, Andrew Andronikou, said Storrie made the decision after consulting his friends and family and decided it was in the best interests of the club if he were to leave full-time employment at Portsmouth.

"The administrators would like to thank Mr Storrie for his undivided assistance and support over the past few weeks," read a statement on Portsmouth's website.

Storrie will be kept on at the club in a consultancy role and the administrators expect him to assist on a "wide range of matters" including the sale of the club, the FA Cup semi-final arrangements and other projects. The administrators say he "will be remunerated accordingly".
