Seagulls appoint new medical and performance staff

Brighton have appointed Professor Doctor Florian Pfab as the club's new head of medicine and Doctor Gary Walker as the new head of performance. Pfab joins from Eintracht Frankfurt, where he has spent five seasons, and is highly regarded for ensuring the club has been one of the teams with the fewest muscle injuries in the Bundesliga in recent years. Walker joins from FC Cincinnati in the Major League Soccer and has previously spent 10 years at Manchester United as head of strength and conditioning before becoming their men's first-team fitness coach.
