Peterborough United are set to lose a highly-regarded member of their backroom staff as Lewis Keeble prepares to leave the club. The head of sports science has been a key figure since joining from Queens Park Rangers in 2022, but his sudden departure comes as a surprise after he was part of the team's recent training camp in Spain.
What happened?
Peterborough United have advertised for a new first team head of sports science, the role currently held by Keeble. The club have not confirmed where he is heading or the reason for his exit, but sources suggest he has not taken up another position within the club. Keeble was interviewed by the club's media team during their pre-season preparations, making his departure all the more unexpected.
Why it matters for Peterborough United
Keeble's role is vital for player fitness and performance, especially as Peterborough United prepare for the new League One season. Last season, they finished 18th with 53 points (15W-8D-23L), scoring 64 goals and conceding 68. With a 50-point gap to leaders Lincoln, retaining key staff like Keeble was seen as important for improvement. His exit could disrupt preparations ahead of the new campaign.
What comes next?
The club are now searching for a replacement, with the new season approaching. Peterborough United have been asked for a comment on Keeble's departure, but no further details have been released. Fans will be watching closely to see how this change impacts the team's performance in the coming months.
