Football, cricket, triathlon – in that order.

What does it take to become one of Wayne Rooney’s most trusted people within football? Well, ask Pete Shuttleworth.

Since their first meeting at Derby, Wayne as a player and Pete as a Performance Analyst, they have pretty much been at each other’s side, wherever they have gone around the world.

Pete’s journey to becoming an Assistant Coach to one of the most recognisable figures in football is far from straightforward. He has trodden the unusual path of schoolteacher, triathlete and county cricketer before finally landing his dream job.

A self-confessed deep-thinker and sport man individual, this is the story of Pete Shuttleworth.
