He was making headlines with his performance on the pitch when the disaster struck in September against Leeds when the teen suffering a fracture-dislocation and had to be stretched off. He was later taken to a clinic and underwent successful surgery.

Jim Moxon is optimistic about his surgery and thinks that there’s a chance he can make a comeback to pitch at the end stages of the season following the successful rehab. For the Reds fans, that comes as great news considering he is one of their brightest prospects to come out of the academy in recent years.
