CENTRAL defender, Stephen Roberts is hoping to be back in full training soon.

The 29 year-old has been laid low with a combination of knee and back injuries since December, but can finally see some light at the end of what has been a long and dark tunnel. "I've been doing a few bits and pieces in the gym," he said as he sat on his exercise bike. "I'd like to think that I am not too far away from joining in with the rest of the lads now.

"Obviously I will have to play catch-up, but I am determined to get back out there and have been working extremely hard. It's been a frustrating time, but the end is in sight."
