Brid Stack has said she is looking forward to starting rehab after fracturing a vertebrae during her first game of Australian Rules Football.

Stack suffered the injury at the weekend and was diagnosed with a stable fracture of the C7 vertebrae. The 11 time All-Ireland winning former Cork ladies footballer was released from hospital on Monday.

She tweeted earlier: “Devastated but counting my blessings. Looking forward to rehab once cleared to do so.”

Devastated but counting my blessings. Looking forward to rehab once cleared to do so. For now, hup the drugs 🙌 Thanks for all the lovely messages, to all involved with @GWSGIANTS, to the exemplary healthcare staff in Adelaide & to a little man whose hugs make everything better🧡 pic.twitter.com/E5AFQm2mbw
