Horsham Demons footballer Jordyn Burke could miss the rest of the season after a nasty head knock during his side’s loss to Horsham Saints at Coughlin Park on Sunday.
Burke was put in a neck brace, stretchered from the field and taken to hospital for scans after being bumped on the point of the head as he bent over to pick up the ball. On Monday night Burke released a statement on social media saying he had been cleared of any major spinal damage or bleeding.
“I am very happy and relieved at that news,” he said.
“Unfortunately I have a bulged disc that is impeding some nerves in my neck.
