AFC Emley have appointed North Light Physiotherapy as the club's Official Physiotherapy Partner.

The Huddersfield-based practice will help limit lost playing time for the club's first team players with advice on injury prevention and treatment for players out of action.

North Light offer physiotherapy for all types of injuries - sporting and non-sporting - and have a long track record working with private and NHS-referred clients.

Principal practice physiotherapist Chris Liversidge, who also works with Yorkshire County Cricket Club, said: "AFC Emley is a big club locally and rightly attract lots of attention and spectators. We're delighted to enter into this partnership to help grow our business and keep the Emley lads where they need to be - on the pitch and pushing for every point."

While current club physios John Mason and Joanna Dickens will continue to work with the team on match days, North Light will primarily work with the squad between games and at training.

AFC Emley first team manager Darren Hepworth said: "Not many teams at our level of football have ready access to the knowledge and expertise that Chris and his associates will bring so this is a huge boost to the club."

Chairman of AFC Emley Nigel Wakefield said: "One day at a time, inch by inch, we continue to make improvements across the club and the partnership with North Light Physiotherapy takes us on to another level. Chris will help us and we're hoping we will help him and the business."

The partnership will see North Light become the title sponsors of the AFC Emley Man of the Match award at every first team game as well as promotion around the ground, in the programme and online.
