New Aycliffe FC boss Dan Mellanby has acted swiftly to fill the void in his backroom staff left by the departure of physio Kevan Spanton.
Mellanby has appointed Newtonian Claire Boyd as the Clubs new physio who comes to the Club having fulfilled a similar position at Middlesbrough Rugby Club for the past 6 years.
With an MSc in Sports Therapy from Teesside University, it’s clear to see her excellent credentials, and Mellanby is excited at the prospect of bringing her into the team.
“Claire is highly qualified, and has just the sort of experience we are looking for”
And in keeping with Mellanby’s policy of looking to recruit local players, it is an added bonus that Boyd hails from Aycliffe. “We want the people of Aycliffe to buy into what we are trying to achieve here. We want to give them a competitive Northern League Football Club, and to feel it really does represent Newton Aycliffe and its people” said Dan.
