Turley on his way back

Oxford United goalkeeper Billy Turley has taken his first steps back to first-team action by returning to the training pitch.

Turley has been on the sidelines since an operation on his shoulder in the summer.

But after seeing a specialist on Monday, he was given the thumbs up to work with his mentor Alan Hodgkinson yesterday.

Turley said: "The specialist was pleased with the progress. I'm determined to make him tear up his books and make a comeback in record time!

"I only went through a few light things with Hodgy today, nothing too strenuous, but it felt good to be back.

"It was cold, it was pouring with rain, and I loved every minute of it."

Sooner the better - he is the best keeper around. Once he is playing again Oxford will be a force!
