The adjustment from freezing cold England conditions to the hot and humid Townsville summer is seen as Fowler’s biggest challenge.

But newly appointed strength and conditioning McCall, who arrived from Glasgow two weeks ago, said he was confident Fowler he would have no problem adjusting.

Since Fowler’s early arrival, former Celtic sports scientist McCall confirmed he had spent time with the former Liverpool player and said Fowler had welcomed the challenges ahead.

"I have spoken to him about sports science and he has given me his opinion," he told the Townsville Bulletin.

"He's got good experience with the sports science and he's asked me what sort of stuff I can do for him, so he's interested in that side of it and there's definitely a lot we can do."

Whether they’re from England, Sydney or even Townsville, McCall said North Queensland’s heat is something all players will have to come to terms with.

The former Celtic sports scientist has only been in Townsville for two weeks and is already busy drawing up plans of how best to get Fury players acclimatised.

"I'll get the guys acclimatised no worries for the start of the season," said McCall, who worked with Scottish Premier League giants Celtic before joining the Fury.

"They'll be ready, don't worry about that ... I have been planning (since) before I came (to Townsville)."

McCall said he had plenty of plans in place to get Fury players in to shape, but said he would start off slowly.

"I'll just expose them to the heat and the humidity gradually then build up to higher intensity," he said.

The 28-year-old is currently completing his PhD of football performance in the heat at James Cook University, with the aim to increase player endurance in hot climates.

"In terms of heat and humidity I think it is going to be a challenge for anyone coming here," McCall said.

"(I think even) the guys from Australia will struggle in the heat here, so it is just a matter of acclimatising, getting them fit in these conditions and they'll be fine."
