Finn Harps have confirmed that one of their rising stars faces a lengthy spell out after suffering a significant ankle injury.
19-year-old attacker Max Johnston was taken off the field in the dying moments of Harps’ win away to Athlone on Friday night, after being hurt making a crucial block.
Harps say that he was rushed to Tullamore Hospital for treatment following the incident, and underwent surgery on the injured ankle on Saturday.
