Vikings Growth brings in Eve Sheppard as First Team Physio

Forth Valley Vikings would like to introduce Eve Sheppard to the Vikings as she becomes the team physio for 2023/2024.

Thanks to Mentrie Motors, Eves sponsor, we have been able to have the expertise of Eve not only on a Saturday but she will be down at training through the week to help the recovery of our players.

Eve comes in as she finishes off her 'undergraduate level sports therapist' Degree. She has been with Hillfoots Rugby Club for a few years now and heads home and away with the players no matter the location. She has a passion for her job and really makes sure that she gives the correct advise to both players and coaches on resting up and getting injuries back to normal in the best time frame.

Kris Illingworth Our founder said, "Having Eve on board isn't just about the professionalism on the pitch but also for myself to be able to decide if we should be playing players on a weekend or not. Last season we had a few injuries and players may have come back just a little too early meaning we miss them for weeks after if they reoccurred, having Eve will help with decisions on getting players back and not having as many repeat injuries throughout the season.

After speaking with Eve she told the Vikings "I am happy to be working with a positive and fantastic team. I would also like to thank Menstrie Motors for their sponsorship in 2023/2024".

Mentrie Motors sponsoring Eve for the next 2 seasons means the club have funds to keep the first aid kit replenished and with Eves advise we will have the correct Stock required for our Rugby League team.

Thank you to both Eve and Menstrie motors for being on board with Vikings as we head into what we hope to be another big winning season.
