The Ireland scrum-half suffered a stroke back in November 2022
Ulster Rugby captain Kathryn Dane has opened up on an emotional milestone she recorded at the weekend.
Tests confirmed that the 26-year-old’s brain haemorrhage was the result of a cluster of blood vessels in her brain that she had been born with but had never been detected. "So to be able to run out was really special. We had been training there for a few months, but it was a big moment for me. Big milestone.
"For the first six months I was in a dark place. I was very unwell. I think I have persevered very well."
