Hull defender Angus MacDonald has thanked the “football family” for their support after he was diagnosed with the early stages of bowel cancer earlier this month.
The 26-year-old had only recently returned to full training having been sidelined for almost a year due to deep vein thrombosis.
He said in two messages on his Twitter account (@Angus_Mac15): “Thank you Football family – I’m absolutely overwhelmed by the support that has come my way this past week.
“Literally thousands of messages which I’m taking time reading through today (Thursday) and It really has given me a huge boost.
“I’ve got a couple of weeks until my first op, so I’m going to enjoy some time travelling and soak up as much positivity as I possibly can.”
The Winchester-born centre-half progressed through Reading’s academy and had loan spells at Salisbury, Basingstoke, Torquay (twice) and AFC Wimbledon.
