Matthew Richardson on track for return
June 19, 2009 11:13am
MATTHEW Richardson is on schedule to make a return to action late in the season, defying his surgeon's prediction.
The big Tiger tore his hamstring tendon against Sydney in Round 6 and is keen to return this year to prove his fitness for next season. He is out of contract at the end of the year.
Richardson revealed today that his surgeon had not expected him to return to the field this year, but now is optimistic.
“I went and saw the surgeon this week and he was really happy,” the Tigers veteran told Vega 91.5.
“(I’m) ahead of schedule … I don’t think he thought I’d play again this year, initially, but I think he’s very confident now.
“I should play a couple of games at the end of the year, definitely.”
