Nnamdi Ofoborh has vowed to make 2022 his year after a nightmare start to life at Rangers.
The 22-year-old signed from Bournemouth in the summer but his football was rapidly put into perspective when a heart problem emerged in pre-season.
Then-manager Steven Gerrard revealed after a friendly with Arsenal that Ofoborh would be out for the foreseeable after a "red flag" in his ECG tests.
But little has been heard since with the club giving him privacy to continue his recovery in the background.
However now 2021 is behind us, the midfielder himself has taken to social media to tell his story.
And he reveals the problem was so serious it nearly cost him his life.
He wrote on Instagram: “This year has easily been the toughest year of my life.
“All the depression, anger, sadness and loneliness I’ve experienced but extremely grateful for the support from family, friends and teammates.
“It has been a tough year mentally and physically and as you can see a lot has gone on behind the scenes.
“Many doctors said I’m lucky to be here but I don’t believe in luck but the blessings from God. I owe it all to God for aiding me on this comeback trail. I will be back.
“2022 will have better days for us all. God bless you all and Happy New Year.”
