Tottenham Hotspur have continued to bolster their medical department with a new face that head coach Thomas Frank will know well
Amid another injury crisis at the club Tottenham have brought in a face Thomas Frank will be familiar with to bolster their medical department.
Spurs currently have 11 players out injured while captain Cristian Romero had to leave the action at half-time in Sunday's 2-2 draw with an illness that had also dogged him during the Champions League victory in Frankfurt in midweek. Tottenham have been taking steps to change their medical department after a similar injury crisis last year.
Director of performance services Adam Brett and head of sports science Nick Davies both departed in 2025 after only a year in their posts. Spurs moved to appoint Dan Lewindon, from the City Group, to replace Brett as their new performance director, while Michael Cooper was promoted to head of sports science in September after four years as a first team physical performance coach.
Nick Stubbings took up a role as the lead of medical following 11 years with Brentford with Tom Perryman coming across as a strength and conditioning coach. Now another former Bees man has joined Frank at Spurs in the shape of Liam Horgan.
Horgan has joined as the club's first-team rehabilitation physiotherapist and worked with Frank and Stubbings during five years as Brentford’s first team physio between 2019 and 2024, after another three with the B team, before making the move to Crystal Palace for an 18-month stint.
Horgan becomes the ninth former Brentford staff member among Frank's staff to make the move to work at Spurs. The Dane brought with him former Bees men assistant coach Justin Cochrane, head of performance Chris Haslam and set-piece coach Andreas Georgson.
Spurs’ head of football methodology, Zaheer Shah, joined the club in 2019 but had worked with Frank at Brentford before that.
Frank will be hoping that both the performance and rehabilitation sides of the club work well in tandem to fix Tottenham's problems and clear their packed treatment room.
