Dr. Will Abbott has been named director of performance services at Charlton Athletic.
Abbott will take over as performance director at Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion after serving his notice term there.
Abbott, who has spent more than a decade with the Seagulls, will be in charge of Charlton’s medical, nutrition, sports science, and psychology departments.
“We interviewed a number of really talented candidates, and Will was the standout,” Addicks technical director Andy Scott said.
“I think everyone looks at Brighton with admiration and envy and we believe the experiences Will has had over the last decade, as well as his undoubted knowledge, will help us set the high standards in the performance departments which improve the whole club.
“I’d like to thank Paul Barber and David Weir at Brighton and Hove Albion for their co-operation and professionalism.”
Abbott worked in Southampton’s strength and conditioning team in 2010 before joining Brighton in 2012, working his way up to the position of performance manager in January 2022.
