Hawks pair Tom Mitchell and Conor Nash both underwent shoulder reconstruction surgery in Melbourne this week. 

Physical Performance Manager Luke Boyd provided an update on the pair.

“Like with a lot of footballers, Tom has had a grumbly shoulder joint for a number of years and it’s something he has managed well over his career,” said Boyd.

“Both these surgeries were the type that could wait until the end of the season, which now gives the pair a good chunk of time to focus on their rehab.

“Both Tom and Conor will require 3-4 months of rehab and should return to training after Christmas.”
