A physiotherapist from Nantwich will be getting to grips with Champions League football next week!
Andy Leach, from Stapeley, will be a key figure as he prepares his players at The New Saints Football Club before one of their biggest games in history.
The New Saints, a Welsh League club based in Oswestry, are in the first qualifying round of Europe’s most prestigious trophy.
They will travel to face B36 Torshavn from the Faroe Islands in the first leg on July 1.
And then welcome them back to Oswestry for the second leg on July 7.
If TNS win through, they will face Videoton of Hungary in the second qualifying round.
Andy, 52, who has worked in Nantwich in private practice for 20 years, joined The New Saints as head physiotherapist at the start of last season.
“I took the job after selling my interest in CTC Physiotherapy last year,” he said.
“I will be travelling with the team to the Faroe Islands next week and I travel to all games wherever they are!”
He has been an integral part of a team that has won the Welsh Premier League, the Welsh FA Cup and the Welsh League Cup in the most successful campaign of any Welsh club.
Andy, who works at the Lodge Clinic on Hospital Street, Nantwich, has applied skills developed from more than 30 years as a physio to maintain the fitness of the players.
He has developed new initiatives in injury prevention which has enabled the club to have all players fit and available for selection.
Andy said: “This squad strength has enabled the manager to have key players available for important games and has contributed to The New Saints becoming the first team to win the domestic treble in the modern era!”
