Yesterday marks 1 year since graduating with a BSc (Hons) In sports rehabilitation from the university of Salford ๐
To say itโs been an intense year would be an understatement! However, throwing myself in at the deep end was the best thing I could have done to gain experience, implement my knowledge, and develop my own practice. Having worked with Tyldesley Rugby Club and since July last year, and then opening my own injury clinic at The Yard Gym in October, Iโve had the opportunities to really help people get back to what they love doing most. Iโve managed many injuries such as:
Multiple ligament injuries including ACL, MCL, ATFL, AC joints and so onโฆ
Multiple fractures such as fibula, clavicle, metacarpals etcโฆ
Dislocated fingers, shoulders and ankles
More than enough wounds!
And interesting conditions such as Osgood Schlatter, Chondomalacia patellae, Severs disease and more.
Dealing with these in acute settings and long rehabilitation journeys, there is no more rewarding feeling than being with people through some of their worst times, as well as the best when they get back to where they want to be.
Forever grateful for the opportunities Iโve had so far in my career, and looking forward to where the future leads. Meeting and working with some fantastic people.
A big thank you to everyone who has put their trust in me throughout my career! Things can only get better from here โค๏ธ

Weโre delighted to have Alfie as part of the Tyldesley RUFC team.
From day one, Alfie has created a professional and welcoming environment, becoming a valued member of our coaching and support staff. His knowledge, dedication and genuine care for the players have played a huge role in keeping the squad fit, healthy and performing at their best throughout the season.
Always approachable, reliable and willing to go the extra mile, weโre incredibly grateful for everything he brings to the club. We look forward to continuing our partnership throughout the 2026/27 season.
We asked Alfie about his time at Tyldesley RUFC, and hereโs what he had to say:
โIโve loved my time working at Tyldesley RUFC. There is a great environment at the club where everybody makes you feel welcome! Working collaboratively with the coaching staff, players and everyone behind the scenes to ensure safety and fitness for the whole team, all working together to achieve one goal โ winning on the pitch! Looking forward to the 26/27 season at this great club! A massive thank you to everyone at the club for putting their trust in me and making me feel a part of the team!โ
Weโre excited to have you back for another season, Alfie! ๐๐ค

Hop testing batteryโก๏ธ
Hop testing utilities a group of functional jump tests post lower limb injury to help determine a number of factors, including:
๐น Lower limb strength
๐น Force production / force acceptance
๐น Stability
๐น Limb symmetry index (LSI)
๐น Readiness to return to sport post injury
Testing provides objective data during rehabilitation and helps make more informed decisions about progressions & returning to sport, as opposed to just guessing or โyeah it feels okayโ. This is where many people pose a higher risk of re injury, returning to sport just because pain has settled, without knowing if their tissues can actually cope with the demands of their sport / activities.
