Telford Tigers duo miss rest of season
Telford Tigers have revealed captain Jason Silverthorn and defenceman Nick Oliver will miss the rest of the season through injury.
Silverthorn – who has been playing through the pain barrier for several months with an undisclosed injury – has vowed to return to playing after his recovery.
And Oliver is awaiting surgery for his own injury problem, bemoaning the timing as it comes after the Tigers have lost 12 of their previous 13 matches.
He said: “I am more disappointed I can’t help out my team-mates in what seems to be a difficult time for the team.
“They are all working extremely hard to get back to a level we are expected to be at.”
Discussing his injury, Silverthorn added: “It’s the right thing for me to do for now and the future health of my body.
“I will work to come back – this isn’t the end.”
