About me
I am a highly experienced Sport and Exercise Medicine consultant, specialising in both elite international and domestic football, as well as musculoskeletal clinics within the NHS and private sector.
With over 10 years of experience in clinical practice and elite sport, I provide expert care for patients at all levels - from elite athletes to the general public. My expertise lies in the diagnosis and management of muscle, tendon, ligament, and joint injuries. I focus on early diagnosis, conservative management, and tailored rehabilitation strategies to help individuals return to their physical best as quickly and safely as possible.
I am skilled in managing a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including acute and chronic sport-related injuries, soft tissue trauma, work-related injuries, as well as longstanding issues such as tendinopathy and osteoarthritis. I utilise advanced imaging techniques, including diagnostic ultrasound and MRI to help evaluate injuries and develop precise treatment plans which may include shockwave therapy, and image-guided injections (steroid, hyaluronic acid, and PRP).
In addition to my clinical work, I provide medical support for all England men's football teams, from youth to senior international levels, in my role as Pathway Lead Doctor at The Football Association based at the national football centre at St George's Park. My career to date, has included prominent roles with professional football clubs, including Liverpool FC, Burnley FC and rugby Super League clubs such as Huddersfield Giants. I currently serve as First Team Doctor for Huddersfield Town Association Football Club, which I have done since 2022.
I have also provided medical expertise at major international events, including the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, British Athletics, Taekwondo, and in supporting the British Cycling Team in the lead-up to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
As a Member of the Royal College of Physicians and a Fellow of the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine, I am committed to ongoing professional development and advancing musculoskeletal care through collaboration, research, and best practice.
