Injury plagued defender determined to get back to full fitness

Bolton defender Joey O'Brien has given up his summer holidays in a bid to get back to full fitness. The defender has endured another injury plagued season, starting just six times with two substitute appearances for Wanderers. After recently undergoing a minor knee operation, the Republic of Ireland international, who has not played since October, is determined to work hard in the coming weeks. He told the Daily Star Sunday: "The lads deserve a summer off but it won't be like that for me. "It will be six weeks of really hard graft."
