In a statement released on the club's website, Barraclough, who joined the club in April, said: 'On behalf of myself, my wife, my children and my wider family I would like to thank the surgeons and staff at the Wellkin Hospital, Mauritius for their exceptional care. 'I would also like to thank club chairman Richard Beastall and all of the team at Partick Thistle for their support and well wishes. 'In my short space of time I have already felt the close bond and drive from staff, players, fans and volunteers that make Thistle what it is.' 'I'm looking forward to returning as quickly as possible and get back to that unique and special feeling that really marks Thistle out as a football club with a passion to be different and an ambition to succeed.' 'It is one that I am very proud to be a part of.' Club chairman Richard Beastall said: 'It was a harrowing time for Ian and his family immediately after the accident however things are beginning to settle now. 'He suffered broken bones in both his neck and back but thankfully the speed in which he was operated on, and the care that was taken pre-operation, has helped the situation significantly.' 'Ian has only been at the club for a short time however he has impressed everyone with his professionalism and drive. Everyone at The Wyre Stadium at Firhill wishes Ian a quick and full recovery.' 'We have contingency measures in place to cope with his absence. These includes extra duties being carried out by our new head of recruitment, Lee Turnbull, who has now officially started, and others at the club. I thank everyone for rallying together.'

Washburn University holds Spring Career Fair
TOPEKA (KSNT) – Washburn University hosted its 2025 Spring Career Fair on Feb. 26 at the Lee Arena. The event drew representatives from more than 100 businesses and graduate programs. It was an opportunity for students to connect with employers for future job openings, internships and to network. The Washburn University Career Engagement team encouraged those who attended to bring copies of their resume and to dress professionally. James Barraclough, the director of the career engagement team, shared why the team is so committed to having the career fair. Part of downtown Topeka will close early for Patrick's Day parade 'We want students to have this opportunity to engage early in their college experience, so they can actually figure out what employers are looking for,' Barraclough said. 'What can I do with this kind of major? We also want them to have that experience as a first- or second-year student, so they feel more comfortable coming back to have those conversations for an internship, or to have those conversations for a full-time job.' A Washburn University senior, Bella Wood, has been attending the career fair while attending Washburn and said she has been able to grow from the experience. 'The employers are always super happy to engage with folks and just love learning about us students,' Wood said. 'The fact that they are willing to come in and give up some of their day and their work and productivity time and all of those things to us students make such a huge difference.' Old Norsemen Brewing Company property for sale at $780,000 Carter Hiebert, a Spanish major at Washburn, plans to attend Washburn's Law School after graduation. Heibert was able to connect with the school at the career fair last year which helped inform him about his future options. 'I talked to Washburn Law last year,' Hiebert said. 'We spoke about scholarship opportunities, what I needed to get on the LSAT, and more.' The event was rescheduled from last week to February 26th due to inclement weather.
