Ferris To Miss Remainder Of Season

Ulster and Ireland back rower Stephen Ferris was reviewed last week as part of his ongoing rehabilitation from an ankle injury that he sustained in November.

During that review, it was discovered that although Stephen Ferris had made excellent progress, some minor issues still remained. Those issues included function at the ankle continuing to cause pain.

Having considered all specialist medical opinions given, Ferris underwent further ankle surgery in Belfast yesterday during which fragments of bone were removed.

The 27-year-old forward will be out of rugby for another three months, but following this period he is expected to make a full and complete return to the game.
