Newcastle United loanee keen to put concussion hell behind him to boost Hamilton Accies' cause

Newcastle United loanee Lucas de Bolle insists he is focused on playing as often as he can for Hamilton Accies after three months of injury hell.The midfielder arrived at New Douglas Park on September 1 on a season-long deal but concussion issues suffered during his time with the Magpies, which had already held up his switch to South Lanarkshire, resurfaced just three weeks into his loan move.During the last few months, the Scotland under-21 international has been itching to add to his debut appearance in a 2-0 defeat to Queen's Park on September 17, but he suffered from blurred vision and had to see a specialist in London before getting the all clear to finally rejoin the Accies squad during midweek.It has been a frustrating period for all parties, including the Accies fans who could see in his cameo from the bench against the Spiders that de Bolle has plenty to offer.That belief was further enforced on Saturday when he helped inspire Accies to a comfortable win over Inverness in the SPFL Trust Trophy fourth round, playing a crucial role in the build-up to Sam Nixon's own goal after three minutes, which was followed by Reegan Mimnaugh's clincher 30 minutes later.And now de Bolle has that first start and a solid 71 minutes under his belt on Saturday, he is intent on looking forward, rather than dwelling on his injury woes.Asked how this period had been for him, he said: "It's been a very frustrating two months for me.
