Everybody at Darlington Fc is pleased to learn that defender Paddy Almond is making steady progress on the road back to full health.

Paddy left the Royal London Hospital after being treated there for three weeks following his bleed on the brain incident at Southend, and earlier this week he returned for another brain scan and further tests.

The scan has revealed that 95% of the old blood has been reabsorbed and no operation is needed. The hospital is very happy with his progress.

Here's a story about Paddy on the BBC website
