We can also confirm that, following a scan and assessment on the injury picked up against Blyth, that Jamie Spencer will be out for the remainder of the season.
‘Spenner’ will undergo surgery later this year, after the assessment revealed an injury to his ACL. The rehab period is expected to see him out until the summer of 2024.
Everyone at the club wishes Jamie well in his recovery and he has our full support during this time.
On the news, Player/Coach Luca Havern said: Spenner will be a huge loss for us on and off the pitch, he overcame a niggling injury through pre season and had improved us coming back into the side. We are all gutted for him but knowing his character there’s no doubt he will come back stronger and continue to support the lads in the changing room this season.
