Today is a bittersweet day for North Queensland Fury FC, as it confirms that Head of Sports Science, Alan McCall, will leave the Fury this Friday to take up a similar role with English giants, Liverpool Football Club. 30-year-old McCall joined the Fury from Scottish powerhouse, Celtic Football Club, back in January 2009 and was headhunted by the five-times European Champions to become their new Sports Scientist. Speaking about this once-in-a-lifetime move, Alan said; “This decision really hasn’t been easy for me. I love everything about the Fury, its supporters and the fabulous landscape of North Queensland. But it’s not every day you get offered a job at one of the most famous football clubs in the world and this opportunity is what dreams are made of. “It’s been a real privilege and an honour to be involved in creating something fantastic here at the Fury and I’ll be sad to leave a club who are on the verge of great things.” Although everyone at the Fury will be sad to see Alan leave, it highlights the quality of personnel working at North Queensland Fury FC. Robbie Middleby, former Fury captain and now the club’s Head of Football Operations sums up the feeling amongst Alan’s colleagues; “Alan is truly in a league of his own when it comes to the field of Sports Science. He combines traditional and progressive approaches to injury prevention and rehabilitation, whilst using the latest technologies and insight to help each member of the squad reach their potential.
“Not only is Alan a leader at what he does, but also has an exceptional knowledge of football and played an important role in helping assemble this year’s squad.
“Although Alan will be sorely missed by everyone at the club, we are immensely proud of his appointment at Liverpool FC and look forward to welcoming him back to Townsville in years to come.”
