Lincoln City have appointed a new head of performance at the club. Ross Burbeary joins the Imps from the newly promoted Rotherham United.
He'll oversee the medicine and sports science departments.
Director of Football Jez George spoke in glowing terms of Burbeary - He said:
“This is a key appointment for us. Ross joins us with a huge reputation, will bring the experience, knowledge and expertise that we need to this department and will have a massive impact on the players. He will also be a cultural architect in helping to create the environment we want at the Soper of Lincoln Elite Performance Centre.
“We look forward to Ross developing a new team within this department to give our players the best possible provision so that we can maximise their physical potential, keep them fit and optimise the physicality of our team next season and beyond.”
Burbeary added:
"My role is to oversee the sport science and medical provision, but as head of performance it rolls out to be more than that - about how we get the best out of players.
"They are human beings, not robots we can programme, so I'm keen everyone is willing to think laterally about how we do that.
"The club has been successful over the past few years so I'm inheriting some things we do really well but the changes this summer are also really encouraging so it feels like a really exciting time to be coming to Lincoln."
There's still no word yet on a replacement manager after Michael Appleton left the club last weekend.
