McKirdy was shocked in pre-season to be told he needed urgent heart surgery
Hibernian's Harry McKirdy has given an update on his health after a pre-season scan led to the forward undergoing heart surgery.
The former Aston Villa youth player has been speaking of the surreal time he had when he first found out about his situation and the gratefulness he feels to his family and friends for helping him through the ordeal. While it's unlikely he'll be back playing for the Easter Road side anytime soon in the Scottish Premiership the the winger is starting to get his energy back and "feel like a normal human again".
"I found out on the Saturday, which was the first pre-season game, because of when the scan results came back, and then went down to London to get it treated. I had five or five and a half weeks in London in hospital. I had great support in the hospital and from my family and friends. They were really looking after me and I’m thankful for that.”
