Star Tichborne Park all-rounder Tom Allam has broken his right leg playing in a Hampshire League soccer match for Four Marks.
Allam, pictured, was taken to hospital after only two minutes of Four Marks’ eventual 4-0 win over Headley United.
He underwent a two-hour operation on a spiral fracture of the right tibia, now supported by two plates and eight bolts.
“I won’t be playing football again this season, that’s for sure,” said Tom, who added: "“But I’m looking on the positive side and would ideally like to be back in the gym around February to start getting myself ready for the 2018 cricket season.”
Next year promises to be a big one for Tom, who hopes to be fit to take over the Tichborne Park captaincy from his elder brother Will.
Relegated Tichborne Park finished bottom of Southern Premier League Division 1 this season.
