Lewis Macleod's life after Rangers to pinch from futuristic data driven Brentford where sleep coaches are the norm

Lewis Macleod Brentford Rangers Thomas Frank Benrahma Dean Smith Ian Durrant Neal Maupay Nicolas Jover Ollie Watkins

Lewis Macleod spent much of his four-and-a-half years at Brentford on the sidelines as the former Rangers midfielder endured some bad fortune with injuries.

Now Macleod is determined to put those tormenting times to good use as he embarks on a new career. Forced to retire at 28, Macleod is taking his first baby steps towards finding a job in recruitment or coaching. He’s started online modules and applied to begin his badges.

Macleod soaked up so much knowledge, seeing how the innovative west London club was set up to succeed by owner Matthew Benham’s data-driven and analytics approach. They won promotion from League One under Mark Warburton in May 2014, eight months before Macleod signed for £1million.
