Charged with managing the fitness programmes of every professional and academy player at the club, Kevin Paxton plays a key role in the Nottinghamshire setup.

Affectionately  nicknamed ‘Kevlar’ by the Notts squad, his penchant for the latest fitness gadgets (laser start and finish lines, vibrating plates etc) has ensured that fitness sessions are never dull.

Formerly employed in a similar role by Sheffield United Football Club, Kevin arrived at Trent Bridge in 2008 as the club’s first full-time fitness and conditioning coach.
