New Job for Williams - Ipswich Town News
Physio Dave Williams has been appointed head of a newly created sports science department at Portman Road as part of Jim Magilton's restructuring of the club's backroom staff.
Magilton told the club site: "I've asked Dave to head up a new sports science department dedicated to providing the very best facilities and advice in the areas of personal fitness, diet, nutrition, lifestyle and physiotherapy.
"Under Dave's guidance, fitness training, physio and Prozone match analysis will work together to ensure that every attention to detail is in place."
TWTD understands that there could be a further addition to the management staff with Magilton keen to recruit another senior coach - probably in the director of football role previously reported - before the season starts on August 5th.
The Blues will learn their 2006/07 schedule when the fixtures are released next Thursday morning.
