Squad Update

Ahead of tonight’s game away at Abbey Hey, Dave McNabb has issued the following update on a number of players:

Brad Carroll


We’ve been dealt some bad news in the last week with the scan results coming back on Brad knee injury confirming that he has a full rupture of his PCL and is likely to be out for up to 6 months. Brad has been brilliant since he came to the club, fantastic performances on the pitch and a player who is highly respected and well thought of in the changing room.


Morgan Homson-Smith


Morgan is out for another two weeks with an ankle injury. After a very impressive start to preseason Morgan was really unlucky to pick up the knock at Atherton LR in early July. I’m sure once he’s cleared to play he will get back to full speed pretty quickly.

Jack Dunn


Jack has had a tough couple of years with a serious knee injury. As expected he will pick up a few niggles and strains as he makes his way back to full fitness. Jack has been back into training this week and should be available for selection in the next week or two. We know we will have to be patient with Jack but it will certainly be worth it when we get him 100% fit and sharp.


Iyrwah Gooden


Iyrwah is unavailable for the next 10 days. Another who’s had a brilliant start to his life as a shaker and will no doubt be missed over the next few games.


Bryan Ly

Bryan will be back into full contact training this week and available for selection next weekend following a concussion. It’s been extremely frustrating to lose Bryan but there’s nothing more important than the health and wellbeing of our players and it’s a very long season ahead.


Connor Comber


Connor has missed a large portion of preseason due to holidays and injury. Connor trained a couple of weeks ago and managed to play in the final weekend of preseason away to Nelson but unfortunately has picked up another injury since. It’s nothing serious but painful impact injury on his knee.
