Star forward Jack Darling continued his progression towards a return to senior football when he again appeared on the training track for a light skills session today.
Darling, who started on-ground training late last week, will incrementally intensify his work load.
While today’s session was not physically demanding, it was another important step forward.
He moved well and looked to enjoy the session as he now builds towards a return in the next month, having spent so much of the pre-season and the early part of the club’s 2015 campaign recovering from a foot stress fracture.
The appearance of Darling and experienced utility player Xavier Ellis, who has not played this season because of a hamstring complaint, were two positive signs in a low-key session.
Ellis could return as early this week, probably with WAFL club East Perth as he begins to build his base.
