Yeovil Town’s loan winger Josh Neufville has surgery on a broken ankle today, sending a snap from his hospital bed to his instagram account.

Manager Darren Sarll gave an update on the Luton Town man’s injury,

“Josh is in surgery today (Thursday), he has a tough road back. It is probably the worst injury a footballer can get in terms of time off.”

Sarll confirmed that he has suggested that Yeovil Town might be a place where Josh can continue his rehab and regain match fitness.

“We have told him if it’s possible that his first game back when he’s fit can be at Yeovil, we will welcome him with open arms… the impact he had from Day One was incredible.”

“I like those loan players who take the football club to their heart. Remeao Hutton had that, Michael Kelly has that.
When you loan a player you are basically renting them, but Josh has never been like that and I would love him to play for Yeovil again. We have helped his career enormously and he has helped us to come out of a bad start and get a few wins.”

Josh’s Mum, who has taken time to thank Yeovil fans for their support this past week, confirmed that Josh’s surgery had been a complete success.

We of course, wish Josh all the best in his recovery.

Luton Town academy head coach Adrian Forbes has hailed the impact a loan spell with Yeovil Town has had on winger Josh Neufville.

The 20-year-old’s season was cruelly cut short after suffering a serious ankle injury in the Glovers’ 4-3 defeat at Altrincham at the weekend, having played 31 times since arriving in December.

But, Forbes, the Championship side’s Head of Academy Coaching and Professional Player Development, said the player’s time in Somerset had been of huge benefit.

Speaking to the club’s website, Forbes said: “It’s one of those situations with Josh where if he’d stayed with me with the under-21s, he’d have developed, but he wouldn’t have got the experience and education he’s had this season at Yeovil.
“To go and play National League football, week in week out, and do as well as he’s done, you know he can do that now.
“We know the answer, and it’s been really pleasing to see the impact he’s had on that Yeovil team.
“Josh has the two things that no-one can coach – power and pace – and he’s taken that from academy, development football playing against lads his own age, into a men’s league where points and livelihoods are at stake.
“So although his time there has ended prematurely, and in a sad way, in the long run he’ll have gained so much from his time down at Yeovil.”

Neufville is the second Luton youngster to have an impact for the Glovers’ this season with defender Gabriel Osho having also impressed during a one-month loan before being recalled at the start of the year.

Josh Neufville’s mother has taken to Twitter to thanks all the Glovers’ fans for sending their best wishes to the young winger after he suffered a broken ankle at the weekend.

The 21-year-old, who has been on loan at Huish Park from Luton Town since the end of last year, suffered a broken ankle in the early stages of the 4-3 defeat at Altrincham at the weekend.

He posted on his Instagram story: “This is football. No sob stories. Everyone has a story to tell and this is a part of mine.”

Meanwhile, his life coach and motivational speaker mother, Jackie, thanked supporters for their good wishes.
