FA close bullying investigation into head of team strategy and performance Dave Reddin

The FA is “entirely satisfied” after closing an investigation into allegations of bullying made against head of strategy and performance Dave Reddin.

The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday outlined details of a written complaint, which the newspaper alleges the FA failed to properly follow up – something the national governing body disputes.

A FA spokesperson said in a statement: “In October 2017 The FA received an anonymous letter raising certain concerns in relation to Dave Reddin.
“The FA took all of the allegations raised very seriously and undertook an investigation.

“We are entirely satisfied that the matters were appropriately investigated and concluded.

“As this matter relates to the personal data of current employees we are not in a position to comment further.”

Reddin, who held key roles in England’s 2003 Rugby World Cup triumph and Great Britain’s London 2012 Olympics successes, was appointed as FA head of performance services in August 2013, beginning the role in February 2014.

He became head of team strategy and performance in December 2015, with responsibilities for performance medicine, performance analysis and insight, player insights, physical performance, nutrition and people and team development.
