Confirming the news to the Official Club Website, Town Physio Dave Williams said: "Scott has had the operation and we expect him to be out of action for between six to eight weeks. He's had problems with the injury since September and has had various rest periods to try and clear it up.
"He returned to training a few weeks ago but was still complaining of pain so after scans and seeing a specialist, it was decided that surgery was the next step."
