The South African sports industry is celebrating the appointment of former Springboks physiotherapist Dr Tanushree Pillay, who recently joined French club Paris St Germain.
Tanushree took to her Instagram page to break the news and says she is delighted to venture into a new career path. The former Springboks doctor signed and sealed her contract with the Parisians early this week.
Looking at the social media post, the 2019 Rugby World Cup winner with the Springboks is donning the PSG shirt as she joins the club with the likes of Argentina’s Lionel Messi. Messi parted ways with Barca a few weeks ago and was announced as the new recruit for the European giants and Tanushree is set to monitor some of the biggest players' fitness levels.
Apart from the multi Ballon d’Or winner, Pillay will work together with fine players such as Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe.
The evergreen Pillay made her breakthrough in rugby during a women’s rugby event in Bloemfontein when she assisted the Western Cape Sports Academy as a volunteer more than 15 years ago. The 40-year-old wrote on Instagram:
“Thankful for new beginnings and to have a new home with a great club!”
