Midfielder Brown targets next season
Mansfield midfielder Simon Brown is hoping to hit the comeback trail in time to rejoin the first team at the start of next season.
The 22-year-old has been hampered by hamstring trouble throughout the 2005-2006 campaign and must now undergo hernia surgery.
He said: "It's been a frustrating time for me, what with missing games with a hamstring problem.
"Then, as I was recovering from that, I noticed discomfort around the groin area and that's when I was diagnosed as having the hernia.
"I hope the operation sorts it out once and for all and I want to return next season and score more goals."
