Two Tottenham staff members leave the club, and one is about to join Everton
As expected, Tottenham Hotspur have made significant changes to their medical department at the start of the Thomas Frank era, with two members of staff, who were hired just last summer, being let go by the Lilywhites.
Earlier this week, it was reported by The Athletic’s Jay Harris that Nick Stubbings had left Brentford to join as the new head of Tottenham’s medical department.
Stubbings became the fifth member of staff to follow Frank from the Bees to North London, following Justin Cochrane, Chris Haslam, Joe Newton and Tom Perryman.
Stubbings’ arrival inevitably meant that there was going to be one or two departures from Tottenham Hotspur, and that has now been confirmed by a reliable source.
Alasdair Gold confirms two members of staff have left Tottenham
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has now revealed that Spurs’ director of performance services Adam Brett, and head of sports science Nick Davies have both left the club after just one year.
Brett arrived last summer after almost a decade at Brighton, while Davies joined Spurs from West Ham, but their roles came under scrutiny in the review that Tottenham conducted of their medical department.
The review was instigated by the club’s terrible injury crisis last season, with question marks being raised about how the rehabilitation of certain players was managed, with the likes of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven seemingly being rushed back too early.
Davies was brought in last summer to replace Tottenham’s former head of medicine and sports science, Geoff Scott, who left his role after 20 years at the club.
Nick Davies has already found a new employer
Despite question marks over Davies’ role in Tottenham’s injury crisis last season, he will not have to wait for a new job, with Gold stating that he could move to Everton.
This has also been backed up by Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe, who claims that Spurs’ former head of sports science has already joined the Merseyside club.
O’Keefe revealed that Davies had worked together with Moyes at West Ham before his move to North London, with the pair set to link up once again at the Toffees.
