The Club can confirm Brad Abbott has broken his leg.
The midfielder left the pitch shortly before half time against Blyth Spartans, and following a visit to the hospital, the diagnosis was confirmed.
Brad, sponsored by GreyDoggFM, will undergo an operation soon and will be out of action until 2027.
As a Club, we will support Brad at this difficult time and look forward to welcoming him back to the Horsfall Community Stadium.
Speedy recovery, Brad!
