Head Physiotherapist - Everton Women

Who are we: Everton Football Club is one of world sport's most respected and revered names - a by-word for innovation, professionalism and community.

During the course of a glittering history spanning three centuries, the Club has been shaped and guided by its aspirational motto Nil Satis Nisi Optimum - nothing but the best is good enough.

Alongside a Senior Men’s team that has played more games in English football's top flight than any other, Everton Women have been a leading light in driving forward the professionalism of the women’s game.

With roots that go back to the mid-1980s, Everton Women were formally established in 1995 and won the English league title just three seasons later.

League runners-up five times in the following decade, the team also won two Women's FA Cups and a Women's League Cup before proudly becoming one of the eight founder members of the Women's Super League in 2011. 

Now the iconic Goodison Park - Everton's main stadium since 1892 - has become the permanent home of Everton Women, signalling the dawn of an exciting new chapter for one of the women's game most storied clubs.
