Byrne out until September

Last updated : 30 June 2011 By Luke Thornhill

Byrne, 29, has not played since January due to a trapped nerve in his back. He had surgery on the problem in the close season, but has been ruled out of the entire pre-season schedule.

"We're disappointed with that because he's been a big player for this club and still is, but we need to make sure he's fully fit when he returns," said Iron manager Alan Knill, speaking to the club's official website.
