Tony Colbert

The Gunners played 59 competitive games last season, and the physical demands placed on the first-team squad mean that their fitness planning and preparation needed to be finely honed.

Tony performs this crucial role, ensuring that the players are able to withstand the rigours of a hard campaign. He also works with injured players to prepare them for a return to action in the best condition possible.

A hugely experienced and highly-qualified fitness coach, Tony worked with a range of sportsmen before joining the Club and is an expert in football-specific fitness.

He has also delivered lectures and developed a range of fitness training courses for health and fitness organisations — and has managed various gyms and fitness centres.
