Spire Murrayfield Hospital Wirral has announced that it has become Tranmere Rovers Football Club’s official medical partner.
Under the new agreement, Tranmere Rovers players will have access to Spire Murrayfield’s diagnostic sports medicine facilities in their physiotherapy department, which will help Tranmere Rovers players significantly when it comes to preventing injuries and when recovering from injury.
Under the new agreement, Spire Murrayfield is supporting the renovation of Tranmere Rovers Physiotherapy Suite at Prenton Park. This new improved facility will enable Tranmere Rovers to provide improved levels of physiotherapy care to their players on a day to day basis whilst they are in training.
Spire Murrayfield Wirral, part of Spire Healthcare Group PLC, is recognised for its provision of sports and exercise medicine to the local community. The hospital, based in Thingwall, Wirral, is home to some of the region’s leading sports medicine and orthopaedic consultants and physiotherapists.

We are proud to be extending this service to Wirral’s own football team.
“By offering access to our services, we will be able to create individual management plans to the TRFC squad – ensuring the players are in peak condition for the remainder of the season.”
