Brentford head of medical Greig joins Chelsea Women

Long-serving Head of Medical at Brentford Neil Greig has left the club to become Chelsea Women’s head of performance support.

Greig joined the Bees in June 2010 and has played a role in the most successful period in the club’s history which has seen them establish themselves as a Premier League team.

Greig has raised over £100,000 for various charities during his time in West London, including for Cardiac Risk in the Young, in memory of former technical director Robert Rowan who died suddenly in November 2018.

“My 14 years with Brentford have been the most rewarding and enjoyable of my career,” said Greig.

“When I walked through the door it was evident that there was a huge project ahead, however there was a clear vision and strategy in place to achieve that and it’s been an incredible journey.

“I’d like to place on record my thanks to the outstanding group of medical and performance staff that I’ve worked alongside during my time at the club along with many others, of whom there are too many to mention them all.

“I’m excited as to what the next chapter of my career will hold but will always look out for Brentford’s results and wish the club ongoing success.”

Brentford director of football Phil Giles added: “On behalf of everyone at Brentford I’d like to thank Neil for his outstanding contribution to the club. He has played a significant part in getting us to the Premier League and can be proud of his achievements.

“The role to which he is moving at Chelsea Women is a perfect fit for the next stage of Neil’s career, and we wish him well.”
