\u201cYesterday Harry experienced the fantastic highs and the devastating lows of our game in the space of only a few minutes – we are all feeling for him today,\u201d Blues General Manager of Football Brad Lloyd said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo step onto the big stage with confidence and a maturity beyond his years, he has all the qualities to be a quality player for our football club for a long time to come.<\/p>\n
“Harry really impressed everyone as soon as he walked through the doors at IKON Park, he has an outstanding drive to get the absolute best out of himself.<\/p>\n
“He will go into surgery, with the Club to provide him with all the support he needs through his rehabilitation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Injury News An update on young defender Harry O’Farrell.
