STAR Melbourne forward Mitch Clark went under the knife today - but don't sweat Demons fans - he is still on track to start running in the new year.
STAR Melbourne forward Mitch Clark went under the knife today - but don't sweat Demons fans - he is still on track to resume running in the new year.
Clark went in today to have staples removed from his right foot, which he suffered a season-ending injury to in June.
The former Lion sustained a 'Lisfranc injury' to his foot, a painful setback which ruined the career of Trent Croad.
Clark tweeted: "Just a quick in and out to get my staples out. Always part of the plan. Won't slow me down."
The 25-year-old was in blistering form for the Dees before the bitter blow and was shaping as their shining light for the season.
If he recovers before Round 1 he will join a powerful new set up, along with premiership forward Chris Dawes.
The Dees will add boom spearhead Jesse Hogan to their mix in 2014 as well, after nabbing the West Australian teenager in the mini-draft.
