Our sponsored Torquay United Women’s player Danni Wyatt says her Christmas wish is to get back to training and on the pitch after the mid-season break.
“That’s really what I’m wishing for,” said Danni. “That and to walk without pain again – because I’ve forgotten what that feels like.”
Danni was talking after seeing a consultant this week to discuss the results of an MRI scan on her foot. As well as plantar fasciitis, the scan showed and a heel spur.
“I’ve now had a steroid injection, and we’ll see if that works,” said Danni. “If I’m still in pain, it will need an operation. But I’m feeling hopeful and a lot closer to getting it sorted.
“The women are doing really well, and I’m sure we can maintain that and get back into the National League where we want to be. I’m just wishing to get back!”
Danni has missed most of the South West Regional Women’s Premier League season because of the injury, but has been active in the club – not least as a new board member.
Weltch Media first sponsored Danni in the 2017/18 campaign, when she helped Torquay to third place in the league and to the final of the Devon Cup and won the goal of the season award.
In 2022, she helped Torquay to a sensational victory in the Devon FA Cup Final and was named club player of the season.
And back in 2020, she was among our friends who featured in the popular lockdown comedy promo video With a T.
