A former Huddersfield Town player has joined an elite group of financial advisers.

Mirfield-born Jonathan Dyson, who works for Ebor Asset Management, has gained Chartered Financial Planner accreditation and become an associate of the Personal Finance Society.

The financial sector has been overhauled in recent years. Gaining chartered status means Mr Dyson has demonstrated professionalism, competence and the highest professional standards.

Mr Dyson completed a business degree at Huddersfield University before playing professional football at Town and then transferring to Ebor as a financial adviser in 2003.

David Dixon, principal at Bradford-based Ebor Asset Management, said: “We are very proud of Jonathan’s achievement.”
