Newcastle United have confirmed a behind-the-scenes departure at the club.
Newcastle United have confirmed the departure of head physiotherapist Danny Murphy.
Murphy joined Newcastle in October 2022 following periods with Charlton Athletic, England Under-21s, West Ham United and Crystal Palace on a consultancy basis. He has now departed the club following a lengthy term of parental leave.
A club statement posted on Monday morning read: “The club would like to thank Danny for his hard work, professionalism and growth of the service throughout his 15 months with the first team, during which he has made a significant contribution to the club’s success.
“We wish him and his family well for the future.”
Murphy was appointed by Newcastle sporting director Dan Ashworth, whom he knew from his experience working with England Under-21s. Ashworth was previously the Football Association’s director of elite development.
Murphy’s departure comes amid an injury crisis for Newcastle, who have had many players out injured in recent months. Despite recently welcoming the likes of Callum Wilson, Sven Botman, Sean Longstaff, Dan Burn, Alexander Isak and Joelinton back from injuries, the club still have Elliot Anderson, Joe Willock, Harvey Barnes, Nick Pope, Jacob Murphy, Matt Targett and Javier Manquillo injured while Jamaal Lascelles has recently been nursing a knock.
