The 2012 All Australian defender has not played since round 15, 2013 due to multiple shoulder surgeries and ongoing complications. He trained throughout 2014 without playing and continued to train during the off-season break. He returned to pre-season with the first-to-fourth-year players this week, despite being eligible to wait another two weeks. It is expected that he will be able to complete most of the pre-season and be in full contact training by either December or January with a view to being available for the NAB Challenge and round one.
