Danny Karbassiyoon: From the first-team to IT

Back in 2004, Danny Karbassiyoon was a member of our first-team who netted on his debut against Manchester City in the League Cup. Fast-forward 18 years and he's back at the club as a product manager in our IT department, combining his knowledge of technology and scouting footballers.

Here he tells us more about his role.

Essentially I lead the direction and design of our two bespoke, in-house platforms. The first is our recruitment platform, geared towards the players that we want to bring into the club, and is led by Edu and the recruitment team.

Secondly, the performance hub is driven by our coaches, sports science team, medical and strength and conditioning staff.

They are both unique to us…
