Vice-captain David Gray returns to the Hibs’ Training Centre today after having an operation to solve his groin injury on Monday.
The 26-year-old former Manchester United right-back has become a firm favourite with the Hibs’ fans since arriving at Easter Road in the summer.
He has even managed to score three goals, his first in senior football, including a stunner against Rangers last month.
Yesterday Gray told the club website: “I spoke to the surgeon after the operation and he was satisfied with how it all went and, apart from a bit of soreness and achiness, it feels good.
“I’m back at the Training Centre on Thursday where the hard work will start – beginning with some stretching and light rehab work.
“Hopefully it will all be pain-free because the pain dictates how much work I can do, but I’m looking forward to cracking on with it and getting back as soon as possible.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
