Executive General Manager of Football Joe Brierty has confirmed that mid-forward Quinton Narkle will miss the next 6 - 8 weeks of football following a knee injury sustained in the WAFL over the weekend.
“Following scans, we can confirm that Quinton has suffered an un-displaced fracture to the bone.” Brierty said.
“This will see Narks miss the next 6 - 8 weeks of football, but positively he will avoid surgery, with confirmation that he has avoided damage to his ACL graft, which is great news.
“Since joining the Club in the SSP period at the end of last year, he has worked really hard to integrate into our program and get back to playing AFL footy. It’s a disappointing setback for him.
“Our performance health team will support him through his rehab, and we look forward to seeing Narks’ playing again later in the season.”
Narkle made his Club debut in Round 7 as the substitute and kicked his first goal in purple the following week against St Kilda.
Previously, he missed the entire 2017 AFL season and most of 2018 after rupturing his ACL during training with Geelong.
