Worcester Warriors lock Michael Fatialofa feared he would never walk again

Worcester Warriors lock Michael Fatialofa admits he still has a long way to go after fearing he would never walk again.

The 27-year-old suffered a serious spinal injury against Saracens in the Premiership in January and spent more than two weeks in intensive care.

Fatialofa has spent the last three months in hospitals but is now able to walk unaided.

“Walking is the tip of the iceberg with these types of injuries,” he told 1 NEWS.

“My hands are probably the hardest thing for me – getting my hands functioning. My left hand pretty much does nothing.

“From my neck down, I couldn’t feel anything or move anything.
