Town midfielder Owen Garvan took a step towards a first team return on Wednesday when he took part in a reserve team friendly.

Owen has not played at all for Town this season after suffering a bout of shingles in the summer which was followed by post viral syndrome, he played 45 minutes of the second string friendly against Colchester but it is still taking it a day at a time.

 

Town manager Jim Magilton: “Owen surprised us by playing a half for the reserves and did okay, we weren't expecting him to play but he wanted a game so we threw him on and he looked pretty good.

 

“It's another stepping stone in his recovery but it's still a case of taking it one day at a time with him.”
