PRAV MATHEMA
It is with regret that Queens Park Rangers can today announce that Club Physio Prav Mathema will be leaving the Club in the summer to join Rugby Union side London Wasps.
Prav has been a part of the Rangers medical team for eight years and has now decided the time is right to move on to pastures new.
The 29-year-old will remain with QPR until the end of June, during which time he will continue to help Gareth Ainsworth complete his rehabilitation from the leg fracture he sustained against Luton Town at Loftus Road earlier this month.
Manager John Gregory said: "It will be a big blow to QPR, losing the services of a first-class physiotherapist and a first-class bloke.
"He has been instrumental in the very high standard of rehabilitation and fitness levels that our players have achieved this season, and is going to be a very difficult person to replace.
"Prav has been a very loyal servant to QPR, working under four different managers. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank him personally and wish him every success with his new appointment."
Prav said: "This has been undoubtedly the hardest decision I have had to make on a professional and personal level. I have had a couple of months to think over what would be the best decision for my career, and it is with deep regret that I have decided to leave the Club, which is so close to my heart.
"My time here has been invaluable to me on so many different levels, and I take away with me many fond memories.
"It has been a fantastic eight years, experiencing a Play-Off Final and Promotion. Times like these have made it very difficult for me to have reached such a decision.
"I will leave behind many good friends, and also a fantastic bunch of players and staff, to embark on the next stage of my career.
"Words can't really describe how much I wish the Club well in the future. I truly believe that the forthcoming campaigns under the Gaffer and his team will prove to be fruitful. I am truly indebted to the Club."
