A brief statement from the club via Steve said that he “would like to thank Dr Katrina Curtis for her excellent medical diagnosis and the nurses on A800 ward that took care of him during his stay and everybody for the overwhelming messages of love and support that have come from inside and outside of football.

“He will endeavour to get back to those people now he is feeling well enough.”
