Town full-back Chris Makin underwent surgery today to rid him of the thigh injury which has blighted his season. The 30-year-old has been out of action since August with the mystery injury.

Makin has seen a number of specialists but the problem has proved difficult to pin down. Now it is hoped that the operation will get him back to action.

The former Oldham, Sunderland and Marseille man is not likely to be in first team contention until February.
