SPORTS therapist Tim Grigg has become the latest member of the Forest Green backroom staff to depart the club.

Grigg follows groundsman Stewart Ward and kit man Terry Brown out of the New Lawn.

Grigg began his career at the New Lawn under Jim Harvey and stepped up to full-time position with former boss David Hockaday.

“I would like to thank the chairman for his valuable input into the medical department, which allowed us to perform at a high standard - I wish the club good luck in the future.”

Grigg is planning to start his own private practice and has been selected to assist New Zealand at the rugby World Cup next month.
