Enfield will continue to have its home base at Rushworth Reserve and play its senior football in the FFSA’s state league after it finished bottom of the premier league this season.



Adelaide, however, will have a controlling stake of Enfield.



A new Enfield chairman will be appointed from within Adelaide United’s current board.



And three of the current Reds board members will be strategically positioned on Enfield’s board.



Petrillo also declared that Adelaide’s national youth league team will play its home matches at Rushworth Reserve.
