Footballer Jack Boyle, recovering from his third operation

JERSEYMAN Jack Boyle is recovering well from his third operation of the season at Southampton Football Club.

The former Muratti and Jersey Scottish midfielder returned to the south-coast club on Tuesday following an operation to his left hip just under three weeks ago in Coventry.

Boyle said: ‘It’s been a really frustrating season; two hernia operations and now a hip operation. It was keyhole this time. I had a bit of bone impingement and they’ve shaped it up and it all feels well now.

‘Rehab is going to be hard because I’ve been told I cannot jog or kick a football for five weeks. I have been doing some work in gym together with 20 minutes on a bike and walking and jogging in the pool.’
