Ex-Ireland playmaker Aiden McGeady has admitted he came close to retiring from football after a serious injury which left him sidelined for five months. McGeady suffered the injury, a recurrence of a knee problem, shortly after signing for Scottish Premiership side Hibernian in July 2022.
The 36 year old revealed he feared his career was over and had seriously contemplated early retirement. 'The injury really set me back a lot, because it was a recurrence of the same one from last season.
“There’s nothing worse than being injured. The last four or five months have been some of the worst of my career. I actually contemplated just packing it in completely. I thought, ‘I’m never going to get over this’.
