The 26-year-old is making positive progress as he bids to recover from serious wounds to his legs in an attack allegedly carried out by his sister’s boyfriend.

“I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has sent messages of support to me and my family over the last few weeks,” he said.

“It has been a tough time and the support has been very much appreciated.

“At the moment I am still in hospital and have quite a long way to go on the road to recovery but I am feeling positive.   Thanks to the club, my team-mates and fans, to the club doctors and the amazing staff at Bedford Hospital who have looked after me so well.

“I would also like to thank anyone who has ever donated blood, as you probably saved my life.  I would like to encourage everyone to give blood.”
