LIAM MOORE has revealed he spent more than £20,000 on fitness equipment during his two-year battle to beat a serious knee injury.
The investment has paid off. Centre-back Moore, now at League One Northampton, is set to face second-placed Derby today in just his fourth start since returning to action.
Before joining the Cobblers last month, Moore had last played a full match on March 19, 2022, while on loan at Stoke from Reading.
His long, lonely campaign to play again finally succeeded a fortnight ago when he played at Cambridge.
Now he has started three matches, and he says: “There have been so many ups and downs in those two years.”
Moore’s troubles started when he had both knees scanned after the Potters beat Millwall 2-0 at home.
