Rob Holding | In my own words

Two-hundred-and-ninety-four days. 7,000 hours. My recovery's been a journey. Here's how it ends.

At the start of the summer, I had a target in mind that by the start of pre-season I would be back with the team and hopefully able to get a pre-season game in. Obviously it didn't pan out that way but that was the aim.

Being on tour with the team was an important part of my recovery. I had the feeling I was back with the team and back involved. There was me and Hector, who had the same injury, and just being back around the team, in the hotel for dinner and breakfast, made us feel like part of it all again.
