Short getting old

The 34-year-old has been getting more and more injury prone during his training, and now staff are telling him to take it easy or he’ll do some damage.

“The two most recent injuries I’ve had were to my back and my calf and I did both of them when I was really going for it in training,” explained Short.

“So, as soon as the last one happened, Phil Boersma and Tony Parkes both came straight over to me and said I’ve got to start being more careful and the boss said something similar.

“At the end of the day, I’m no use to them if I train hard all week but then I’m not available when it comes to matchday.”

He went on to state his love for the club and their facilities and say that he thinks he has it in him to play to 36.
