Michelle Hudson joined Liverpool FC's backroom team for the start of the 2020-21 season, working within the club's medical department as masseur.
Hailing from Kirkby, Michelle switched to the Reds from rugby league side Warrington Wolves, where she served for six years after beginning on an initial two-month voluntary basis before joining on a part-time contract and ultimately making the role permanent in 2017.
Her role within the men's team set-up includes soft-tissue massage for players pre- and post-training and matches. She also helps assist the physiotherapists and works closely in the team, helping pack for home and away fixtures, whilst keeping equipment organised.
Since joining the club, Michelle has played a role in delivering an FA Cup and two League Cup trophies to the Reds’ trophy cabinet.
Her CV also boasts spells with international rugby league teams, including England and New Zealand, the Silver Ferns netball squad, and NFL sides the Carolina Panthers and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
On getting the call to join the Reds, she said: "I actually thought it was a joke; I thought somebody was playing a prank on me! I never thought I'd be offered a position, but I am honoured and privileged to have been considered, let alone get the job.
"I’m really proud to work with the club. Being part of the recent success has been a huge privilege. It’s been an exciting time to be here and hopefully there will be more success in the future."
