Newcastle United are searching for an experienced sports performance nutritionist as the influence of Eddie Howe and his staff continues to be felt at the club.
Newcastle have enlisted the help of consultant performance nutritionists like Tony Derbyshire and Nessan Costello to work with the first team in recent years, but the Magpies are now advertising for a brand new permanent role at the club. Perhaps, that should not come as a huge surprise.
Nutritionists have, quietly, become crucial figures in the game to ensure players have the right fuel at the right time to deliver optimum performance. Indeed, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp referred to Mona Nemmer, the club's head of nutrition, 'as one of my most important signings'.
