Will Hatfield injury update

Results of MRI scan

Darlington midfielder Will Hatfield was helped off the field with a knee injury during the first half of Saturday’s FA Cup tie against AFC Telford United, following an attempted tackle.

After initial swelling reduced, the injury was assessed at training on Tuesday night, and Will subsequently underwent an MRI scan. Unfortunately, the results have revealed a cruciate ligament injury, which will rule him out for the remainder of the season.

Everyone at Darlington Football Club wishes Will the very best in his recovery, with an initial target of a return to action in pre-season.
