Speaking of his progress over the Summer towards his comeback, Makin told the Official Club Website: "I can't wait to get going again, especially getting back to kicking a ball and playing in the pre-season friendlies. My recovery is all going according to plan and there have been no reactions so far to the surgery, touch wood.
"Last season was a nightmare for me. The injury was bad enough but there was a real concern that the specialists couldn't find out what the problem was and that was the most frustrating thing.
