sport news NBL player Harry Froling shares photo of surgical scar after coward punch attack trends now

NBL player Harry Froling has been released from hospital and is now recovering at home after a coward punch left him with a fractured skull and a huge surgical scar.

His father Shane shared the positive development on social media on Monday and thanked supporters for the 'care and love sent'.

Froling, 24, suffered bleeding on the brain following the shocking incident outside a popular Wollongong night club last month. 

The Brisbane Bullets centre was found unconscious on a footpath in the early hours of January 22 after playing a match against the Illawarra Hawks the night before.

Hospital scans revealed his brain injuries would require major surgery. 

'Harrison Froling is out of hospital and recovering,' his father posted on Twitter with a confronting photo of his son's large scar.
