SHOCKING: Tottenham Just Hired a MYSTERY Physio Who Could END the Injury Curse FOREVER… or Destroy the Club?! (You Won’t Believe Who’s Next!)
Thomas Frank reunites with a trusted former colleague
Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the appointment of Liam Horgan as the club’s new first-team rehabilitation physiotherapist as they move to confront an ongoing and damaging injury crisis.
Horgan is well known to head coach Thomas Frank and Spurs’ head of medical services, Nick Stubbings, having worked closely with both during his five-year spell as Brentford’s first-team physiotherapist between 2019 and 2024.
His arrival further strengthens the Brentford connection behind the scenes in north London, with Horgan becoming the ninth member of Frank’s Tottenham backroom staff to have previously worked at the west London club.
Since Frank took charge in June 2025, several trusted colleagues have followed him to Spurs, including assistant coach Justin Cochrane, set-piece specialist Andreas Georgson, head of performance Chris Haslam and medical chief Stubbings.
Spurs’ head of football methodology, Zaheer Shah, also has a Brentford background, although he joined the club before Frank’s move to Tottenham last summer.
Prior to his most recent role, Horgan served as Brentford’s B-team physiotherapist from 2016 to 2019. He now arrives at Spurs after spending 18 months as Crystal Palace’s first-team physio.
Tottenham have recently restructured their medical department, dividing physiotherapy responsibilities into rehabilitation and performance.
Horgan’s focus will be on injured players, guiding them through recovery programmes and supporting their return to full match fitness.
The timing of his appointment is notable, with Spurs currently dealing with another serious injury setback.
As many as 11 senior players were unavailable for last weekend’s 2-2 draw against Manchester City.
Horgan’s expertise could prove crucial for key figures such as striker Dominic Solanke, who has battled a recurring ankle issue throughout the season.
Frank has admitted the forward has been carefully managed since returning from injury in January.
