Exeter's official site reports that Adam Stansfield's operation to remove part of his colon has been succesful.
Grecians director Julian Tagg told them: "The operation was a success. Stanno was up when we visited this afternoon and looking happy but tired. He was even cracking a few jokes!
"He is extremely grateful to all the well-wishers over the last few weeks. He is also very thankful that he is now being allowed to rest and recuperate so he can return to action as soon as possible."
