Speaking to Ben Hardy on Saturday he confirmed that his Groin strain sustained playing against his old club Curzon Ashton is not as bad as first thought.

Looking at an operation Ben thought it could be the new year before being able to play again. However after ultra sound investigation it has been revealed that the injury isn’t as sevier as first thought and with some rest and a slow build up of training he could be back within 3 to 4 weeks.

Ben  explained his frustration at being sidelined at such an early stage of the season. After a great pre-season Ben looked forward to his first League game in a Rail shirt against his old club Curzon Ashton. There’s always something special when going back to your old club, knowing the opposition better than some of your new team mates means its important to do well.

The Railway faithful were also disappointed at his early exit as they to had been waiting to see what Ben has to offer after his promising pre-season.

Get Well soon Ben
