CROAD ON ROAD TO RECOVERY
BY ALANA LAKELAND
HAWTHORN defender Trent Croad joined his teammates on the training track today as he continues on his road to recovery, albeit in a moonboot.
Croad was restricted to stationary skills this morning as the reigning premiers’ hit the training track on their campaign towards back-to-back flags.
Croad was forced from the field early in this year’s grand final after injuring his plantar fascia and underwent surgery in the following week.
Hawks captain Sam Mitchell paid tribute to Croad’s commitment to his rehabilitation and said he was confident he would make a successful comeback.
“It’s very major surgery that he had, but he’ll do everything he can to give himself every chance to comeback,” Mitchell said after training.
“He’s as professional bloke as you’d find in an AFL environment,” he said.
