Further Extensions Add To Trailfinders Women Performance Team

Joe Maddalena and Alex Brewer strengthen Barney Maddison’s performance team.

Taking steps to ensure optimal care and development for our players, Maddalena steps into the Head of Medical Services role, supported by Scarlett Wood and Andrew Stevens, whilst Brewer – supported by Gemma Thompson and Uzzy Anwar – will direct the Performance Analysis department as Lead Performance Analysis.

Speaking on the announcements, Head Coach Barney Maddison said:

“I’m pleased that Joe and Alex [Brewer] will continue their work with us, and together with their teams, we’ve got a very strong staff supporting the squad. We have elite ambitions on the field, and our off field matches that.

“We’re committed to ensuring that every day, our players come into an environment where they can feel looked after and thrive, and it’s important that we have these structures in place as we add to the quality we already have.

“Our next priorities are to look at the areas where we feel we can still improve – both on and off the field – and keep the momentum we’ve got to drive us forward next season.”

As Maddison’s performance team takes shape ahead of the new campaign, both Adam Dowsett and Oli Bishop depart after two seasons with the team. We would like to thank both Adam and Oli for their efforts and contributions during their time with us and wish them both the very best for the future.
