Doncaster manager Grant McCann has revealed he was diagnosed with skin cancer last year.

The 46-year-old former Northern Ireland international underwent surgery for malignant melanoma, just months after leading Rovers to the League Two title.

McCann, who has made a full recovery, told BBC Sheffield: “If I want to talk about pressure, it came on me Christmas time last year when the doctor came to the training ground to tell me I had malignant melanoma, which is skin cancer.

“Fortunately I’m OK now, but possibly I could have had five to six weeks to live.

“Pressure for me is really making sure I’m OK, my family’s all right.”
