He has not played since August, when he injured his knee in the carling Cup first round clash with Tranmere at Glanford Park.

He told the official SUFC website: 'I am ahead of schedule and hopefully over the next couple of weeks I will train with the rest of the lads.

"It has been 12 or 13 weeks now and it's just a case of steady progression now with the strengthening work, which has gone really well.

'It has been really frustrating and probably the worst time of my career. I have been stuck doing repetitive work in the gym and it has been tough mentally.

'But I am going to be another option for the manager because we have got two lads of a similar stature up front at the minute.'
