Neil Doncaster (born 1970) is the Chief Executive of Norwich City Football Club. He joined the club in November 1997 as Company Secretary and Solicitor, and two years later he was promoted to Head of Operations before taking up his current role as Chief Executive in 2001.
Born in Devon, he graduated from Bristol University in 1992, qualified as a solicitor and worked for four years for a firm of solicitors in Bristol.
He is currently a Director of FL Interactive Limited, EventGuard Limited and the Football League Limited.
He is one of the younger Chief Executives in the Football League and has been critcised in some quarters for his naive contract negotiations, most particularly the sanctioning of unreasonable buy-out clauses.
He has also been criticised for not spending the club's resources on improving the performance on the pitch and more on building development such as the hotel in between the Barclays and Jarrolds Stands and the block of flats on the old car park behind the Norwich and Peterborough Stand.
