We are thrilled to confirm Josh Thompson has returned to Salford Red Devils as our Head of Medical.
The former professional footballer enjoyed three years at the Club between 2020-2022, progressing through the ranks before moving on to work at football club, Blackburn Rovers.
Josh represented the likes of Stockport County, Colchester United and Celtic as a young footballer before completing his studies in Physiotherapy.
His first role in sport was at the Red Devils in 2020, working part time with our Reserve grade set up before becoming Assistant Physio in 2021.
Following the 2022 Betfred Super League season, he took up an opportunity alongside a familiar face, Rob Artingstall, who was Head Physio at Salford for over 10 years, at Blackburn.
After two years at the Championship club, he has returned to the Red Devils for 2025 and will head the club’s physio department going forward.
On returning to the Club ahead of 2025, Josh has said: “Salford have played such a significant role in my own development, it is now a privilege to be in a position where I can begin to repay the club.”
Welcome back, Josh!
