Key Rangers backroom figure departs to Chelsea

Rangers' Head of Performance Tom Taylor has departed the club after 14 months.

Taylor joined the Ibrox side in December 2023 after leaving his role as an Athletic Development and Reconditioning Coach at Brighton and Hove Albion.

He has now moved back down south to take up a role as Lead Physical Performance Coach at English Premier League outfit Chelsea.

Taylor will work both at Stamford Bridge and the club's Cobham training base.

Chelsea advertised the role on LinkedIn last month. Its core focus was to 'deliver physical performance programmes' and create players who can 'train intensely, recover quickly, compete physically with the best and repeat the demands of the competition schedule'.

Taylor was previously Head of Fitness at Heart of Midlothian and First Team Fitness Coach at West Ham United.

It remains to be seen how Rangers manager Philippe Clement will look to replace such a key member of his backroom team as we enter the final few months of the season.
