Neagle, one of the Ovens and Murray’s brightest stars, plans to move to Melbourne in October and is looking forward to testing himself at a higher level.
“Everything went well with the operation,” Neagle said last night.
“I had a bit of ligament damage and they just tightened things up a bit.
“It’s good to have it done now so I can get in a full pre-season.”
Neagle will be in a sling for six weeks and hopes to be back in full contact training with Essendon by the end of the year.
The Victorian Country under-19 representative said it had been a frustrating season at Birallee Park with his ongoing shoulder problems.
“It just kept popping out and going numb for 10 or 15 minutes,” he said.
“It wasn’t a great feeling.
“After the Yarra game I went and saw ‘Reidy’ (Essendon doctor Bruce Reid) and he advised me to get it done now.
