'He has a long road ahead of him,'
A former City of Derry rugby player has been left 'devastated' after he was told that he would never play sport again after plummeting to the ground in a horror dirtbike crash.
Speaking to MyDerry, Ben's dad Mark McGarvey said his son was 'trying to look on the bright side' and was "realistic" about his situation. Mark revealed that the 20-year-old has already gone through 'seven or eight surgeries' with the latest one taking place last week. "Professor Stephen Kearns, who is one of Ireland's top Foot and Ankle Surgeons is now looking after Ben's case. He told us that if Ben was any older or he wasn't as fit as he was then he would've recommended that both legs be amputated."He loved to play sport, playing for City of Derry, Ulster and Letterkenny at stages. He enjoyed his motocross and sadly that's what gave him these injuries.
"Motocross and sport is out the window for him," Mark added. "Doctors have told us that he'll never be able to run again, he won't be able to walk very far and he won't be able to stand for very long. He is going to be very limited in what he is able to do going forward." The couple are unable to take time off their work due to house bills and uncertainty of what possible costs are facing them in regards to their son's care.
