In a recent interview, Hughton described his healing journey, stating that he received comprehensive advice on all available treatment options before deciding to proceed with the surgery. He expressed satisfaction with his recovery, noting that it has progressed smoothly.

The coach said, “I had very good advice and all the treatment options were given to me, and I decided to have my prostate removed. The recovery has gone really well.

“I’m one year post-operation and I feel good. It’s all gone very well. I’ve got a lot of energy.

“Keeping active and busy is part of how I am anyway, but it’s also about rehabilitation and keeping your mind active as well.

“I’m very comfortable with my prognosis and my post-operation feelings. I’m in a really good place.”
