Physio to head sports science department

The new department is part of the new bosses backroom shake-up that has seen Klug promoted to assistant manager, McCall moved to Chief Scout, Foley signed as a coach and Donachie and Suggett leaving the Club.

The new sports science department, which Dave Williams will head, will be to look after the players health, Magilton explained to the club site: I've asked Dave to head up a new sports science department dedicated to providing the very best facilities and advice in the areas of personal fitness, diet, nutrition, lifestyle and physiotherapy.

"Under Dave's guidance, fitness training, physio and Prozone match analysis will work together to ensure that every attention to detail is in place."

The squad will re-assemble for pre-season training on June 26.
