The Training Ground Guru site revealing (see below) that Jonny King is leaving Leicester City after two and a half years there.

He will become Senior Physio at Newcastle United, filling the vacancy left by Danny Murphy’s departure.

Jonny King and Eddie Howe know each other well, as King was Head of Academy Sport Science and Medicine at Bournemouth from April 2012 – March 2014.

He then left to spend a couple of years working in Qatar.
