Sports Therapist & Assistant Coach

My career began at Leeds Beckett University studying Sport & Exercise Therapy where I graduated in 2017. Following completion of my undergraduate degree I joined the senior medical team at Blackburn Rovers Football Club where I worked for 5 years, beginning as the First Team Sports Therapist before moving into the role of First Team Lead Rehabilitation Therapist for 2 seasons. After 5 great seasons at Blackburn, I moved to Stoke City Football Club under the role of First Team Rehabilitation Therapist. In the summer of 2023, I departed full time professional football to work in the private sector working with professional athletes and high achieving business personal. During this time I have worked for Northern Ireland Men’s National Team and have completed some part time work for Salford City Football Club . I’m currently completing the final stages of my master’s degree in Strength & Conditioning at St. Mary’s University in Twickenham. I’m excited to be working alongside great practitioners at KPI and leading the medical aspect of the business.
