A commercial lawyer, Aspden is currently a partner at Harrison Stone Lawyers and has previously worked in management roles in law, telecommunications and home care.
Aspden will be known to many people in the game, having played football since the mid 1970s for North Otago and then in Dunedin and Auckland. He currently coaches an 11th grade team at Western Springs AFC.
Appointed to the Auckland Football Federation board in 2003 he chaired that Board from 2006 to 2008. He joined the New Zealand Football board in January 2008 and was reappointed for a further four years at the May 2013 Congress.
As interim chief executive Aspden will take a leave of absence from the Board until a new chief executive has been appointed.
“Mark will ensure the organisation delivers on its strategic goals and partnership obligations,” NZF chairman Frank van Hattum says.
“He will provide leadership and direction as required and provide oversight on a number of key projects for the board.”
