Tottenham Hotspur have appointed Liam Horgan as their first-team rehabilitation physiotherapist. This move was confirmed today (February 3, 2026), amid the club’s ongoing injury crisis—Spurs had up to 11 senior players sidelined for their recent 2-2 draw against Manchester City.
This appointment was announced on February 3, 2026, amid the club’s ongoing injury crisis. In this role, he focuses on rehab for injured players to help them return to full fitness, as part of a revamped medical department that separates rehab and performance physiotherapy.
Horgan brings relevant experience: He previously worked as Brentford’s first-team physio from 2019 to 2024 (and earlier as their B team physio from 2016-2019).
Most recently, he served as first-team physio at Crystal Palace for about a year and a half (since September 2024).
This reunites him with Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank (his former boss at Brentford) and the club’s head of medical, Nick Stubbings (also ex-Brentford).
The appointment is part of a broader revamp in Spurs’ medical department, where physios are now split into rehab-focused and performance-focused roles. Horgan’s position specifically targets getting injured players back to full fitness.
This also marks him as the ninth (or possibly tenth, per some reports) member of Frank’s current backroom staff with Brentford ties, reflecting the manager’s preference for familiar collaborators since taking over in mid-2025.
Reliable sources like the Evening Standard and Training Ground Guru have covered the news, with no indications it’s anything more senior (e.g., not a managerial or sporting director role—Thomas Frank remains head coach).
Horgan has prior experience in the Premier League:He worked as first-team physio at Crystal Palace for about a year-and-a-half (from around September 2024 until recently).
Before that, he spent several years at Brentford, including as B team physio (2016–2019) and then first-team physio (2019–2024), where he worked with Tottenham’s head coach Thomas Frank and the club’s head of medical, Nick Stubbings.
