McNulty feared for his career
The 24-year-old sustained the injury during the defeat to Crewe at the end of February and is now recuperating at home after having the damaged kidney removed.
McNulty hopes to return at the start of next season but admits it was touch-and-go at one point.
"I was on the bed in the hospital after the scan when the surgeon said 90 per cent of the kidney is mush and I don't believe you can play again," McNulty told the club's official website.
"I asked him to ring the club doctor and at least speak to the FA because he hadn't dealt much with footballers. In the end it was fine and he has revised his opinion. He spoke with the FA quite extensively.
"I have totally got my appetite back. Before the operation my body fat was only 7.9 per cent, which is super low, so everything I have lost is pure muscle, the majority of it from my legs. It is when I start working that I will gain that weight again."
