Morris putting in the extra work

Cape Town - Ajax Cape Town’s young striker, Tashreeq Morris, appears to be making fast progress with his rehabilitation from what initially looked to be a bad knee injury.

Morris suffered the injury in the last week of the 2014/15 season during the Nedbank Cup final and it was believed that he would be out for most of the rest of the year.

The 21-year-old striker spoke to the official website of Ajax Cape Town and revealed the good news:

“They say the operation went well,” he began.

“I started getting treatment the day after I came out of hospital.

“I’ve been getting rehab treatment at Ikamva everyday now and I also do some training at home on my own.

“I’ve been given a program to follow and I am sticking to it, so my progress is going very well.”

Morris had a great break-out season last year and picked up the Nedbank Cup young player of the tournament award after weighing in with three goals.
