Looking After the Team, On and Off the Field
Derry City has announced that a new ‘Wellbeing’ team has been set up to help provide a support network for players, coaches and staff at the football club. The service is available across all age groups and was launched to the first team squad and coaches by clinical psychologist and family therapist, Gerry Cunningham.
