Jayden Brailey's return from a long-term injury can't come quick enough for the embattled Newcastle Knights.
After missing all but two games of the 2020 season because of a serious knee injury, Brailey was again struck down, this time by a ruptured Achilles, suffered during pre-season training back in January.
He is yet to get on the field this season and his absence has robbed the Knights of one of their best players and arguably their most influential leader.
But after five months of recovery and rehab, the Knights hooker can finally see his most likely comeback date. It remains to be seen if his return comes too late to save the Knights season with the club teetering on the edge of finals oblivion.
Brailey talks about the mental battle of dealing with long-term injury and the "embarrassment" of letting the club and the fans down by not being out on the field leading the way for his team.
