Fremantle ruckman Sean Darcy will travel to Doha later this week to continue his rehabilitation from knee surgery last August.
Darcy’s rehabilitation program is tracking well, with Fremantle Executive General Manager of Football Joe Brierty saying the Club has continually been considering options to complement Darcy’s program at the right time.
“Sean will spend a week at Aspetar Sports Medical Clinic consulting with their specialists to embed some new strategies in his program,” Brierty said.
“These strategies will specifically relate to Sean’s strength program and functional movement to complement a lot of the work already implemented by our Performance Health team.
“With things progressing well and looking to commence Sean’s re-integration into football, we are now at a stage where we feel that the timing is right to continue to invest in practices to aid his progression.
“We’re looking for any short-term gains to assist with Sean’s return to play, but we are also looking at the long-term stability of his knee.”
celebrating the little wins 💜

The Club sent hard-running defender Heath Chapman to Qatar’s Aspetar Sports Medical Clinic last February after a series of hamstring issues.
Last week Darcy joined the playing group for a pre-season main training session.
The ruckman will depart on January 24 and will be accompanied by Fremantle Strength and Conditioning Manager Jackson Dennis.
