Josh has a unique blend of applied experience, currently holding nutrition roles in elite sport, public health, and academia.

His predominant roles lie in swimming, where he is the lead sport scientist for City of Birmingham Swimming, performance nutritionist for Swim England, and a freelancer for Masters athletes. 

This work has followed on from his PhD and post-doctoral research at Birmingham City University, where Josh explored performance solutions for elite adolescent swimmers. Here, he published applied researched articles across a range of nutrition topics, including: education for athletes and parents, dietary intakes of adolescents, supplement intakes and influences, vitamin D status, and the effectiveness of ergogenic aids. His work also involved supporting Aquatics GB with their Olympic and Commonwealth preparations, helping to individualise supplement intakes on race day.

Outside of swimming, Josh has also held positions in academy football, professional cricket, university sports, and as a university lecturer. Currently, he also works part-time within the NHS, where he also provides nutritional behaviour change for patients with obesity.
