What the Doctor Said After Becoming Luton Town's First Team Doctor
It was one of the biggest achievements of his career to become a football doctor.

Not everyone gets the opportunity to earn a lot by becoming medical staff at a Premier League club.

After his appointment, he said, "I knew football was an option, but it became more apparent that it was actually doable and that the path to being with a top team was achievable."


"I think about it like this: There are few doctors in general and few doctors and sports scientists."

"I was experienced and had further qualifications, and few doctors have experience in football, so once you get those steps in, it becomes more likely."

"I didn't think I'd be in the Premier League this quickly, but it was always part of the plan."
