Liverpool have appointed Jonathan Power as their new club doctor.
Power arrives as the direct replacement for Jim Moxon, whose departure from Anfield was confirmed in August just days before the start of the new season.

Power also served two years at the match day doctor for Brentford until as well as club doctor for rugby teams Leeds Rhinos and Yorkshire Carnegie.

News of Power’s appointment arrives at the end of a hectic week of change at Liverpool, with two senior recruitment figures set to leave at the end of May.
Julian Ward stunned the Anfield hierarchy by announcing plans to step down as sporting director at the end of the season, just six months into the role.
It also emerged that director of research Ian Graham is set to depart from his position next summer having tended his resignation in June after a decade.
