Beckett returns to training

28 year old Luke Beckett could be back in the team within a couple of weeks after returning to full time training. Beckett, currently on loan from Sheffield United, has not played this season because of knee ligament damage which was sustained in the Isle of Man Football Festival.

A delighted Ronnie Moore said, "It will be a tremendous boost for everyone to have Luke available again. We threw Luke into a practice game and his movement and running were fine. He scored as well, although his match fitness is obviously low after a good few weeks out injured. That’s what we’ll work on now, so I would expect him to be back in training this week and hopefully stepping things up. It will be great to have a quality player available again. We need a striker who can anticipate chances and be ready for them, which is what Luke does very well.”
