Dundee Football Club defender Owen Bevan has admitted he considered quitting football as he struggled to put injury troubles behind him. After arriving on a two-year deal from Bournemouth last month, the Wales Under-21 international has started to establish himself in the Dark Blues rearguard.
What happened?
Bevan, 22, went two-and-a-half years without making a first-team appearance because of various injuries during a period that included a spell on loan at Hibs.
Why it matters for Dundee Football Club
He said: "There is a lot to make up for and I am just doing my best to get back there. I had a couple of quad injuries and hamstring issues.
What comes next?
Now he is thrilled to be back on the pitch with Dundee and set to feature in the derby showdown against United on Saturday. Bevan's return to fitness is a significant boost for Dundee Football Club, who are looking to make a strong start to the season.
