Speaking to The Star, Moore said of the defender’s progress, “I’m delighted, I’ve had the injury that Ben suffered, so I know now that this is the end of the road in recovery - the part where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

“It’s been a long road for him, but he’s nearing the end of it now.”
