“I’m looking forward to being back on stage. I’ve been practising but that’s obviously not the same as playing competitively," said Wright as per TOYO TIRES.

“After the operation I thought to myself ‘what have I done’. I was in so much pain. It’s still a little bit sore and got a bit of bruising but I feel 100 times better now.

“But it’s a relief that it’s done, I feel positive for the future going into the next few years, at least five or 10 more. It feels like I’m starting a fresh again.

“Obviously I’ve still got to eat healthy and make sure I look after myself.

“I’m having to stick to fruit and salads and I think that can keep me fit and sharp.”
