A former director of the New Zealand Rugby Union and former chairman of USA Rugby, Roberts has also served on the Board of New Zealand Football and as a Trustee for a Team New Zealand America’s Cup challenge.
Speaking about the appointment, Wigan Athletic executive chairman Darren Royle said:
“This is a hugely exciting appointment for Wigan Athletic; Kevin’s expertise in creative thinking, marketing and leadership will be will be hugely beneficial to all areas of our club.
“Kevin is passionate about sport and success on and off the pitch and he has successfully influenced high-profile organisations into building a successful purpose – something we hope to replicate here at Wigan Athletic.”

I'm sure his experience will be invaluable in league 1 next season.
 
Who knows, but if he's any experience of building resilience in sports teams then I'd be dragging him along to Euxton to instill some into our sorry bunch.
