Montpellier just the start as Smith aims to ‘walk the walk’ in multi-club ownership
Former New Zealand captain led takeover of French club and wants Crux Sports to add more teams to portfolio
“I wanted to try to build something that I wish had existed when I was playing.”
At the core, that is what has driven Bex Smith, the former New Zealand captain, to set up a multi-club ownership group and attempt to create environments for women’s teams that her generation could only dream of. On Wednesday, her vision took a step towards reality as her investment group Crux Sports completed the purchase of their first team, buying a 100% stake in the French club Montpellier.
