Fletcher on mend

BATH striker Alex Fletcher is out of intensive care as he continues his recovery from a severe head injury suffered earlier this month.

Bath’s National League South fixture against Dulwich Hamlet on November 8 was abandoned after Fletcher collided with an advertising hoarding at Twerton Park in the fifth minute.

The 23-year-old was taken by ambulance to hospital and underwent emergency neurosurgery and is now on what he believes will be a “long road to recovery”.

In a statement on his club’s website, Fletcher said: “Thank you all so much for your kindness, generosity and messages of goodwill.

“It will be a long road to recovery but I will draw on all of the love and support that everyone has shown.”
