RORY BACK IN BUSINESS

-

RORY Fallon feared his career was over and claims that is making him all the hungrier for success after signing for Bristol Rovers.

The 33-year-old striker last played a competitiv­e game in October 2014 when he suffered a serious knee ligament injury.

“There was many a night that I was lying in my bed thinking it was the end,” said Fallon, who joins the Gas on non-contract terms.

“I didn’t want to end my career on an injury because I felt I still had a lot to offer.

“It has given me a period of restoratio­n and reflection and that has only increased my hunger for the game.

“When something has been taken away from you it only makes you want it more.”
