Detailing his injury comeback, he posted on social media: "The frustrations, setbacks and obstacles of a long-term injury will test you to the max, but I now feel in the best possible shape both physically and mentally to attack next season.
"It’s hard to grasp how difficult an injury it is to recover from unless you've been through it, so I would like to shout out to all the ACL recovery crew!
"In the early stages, not being able to lift your own leg and having to learn to walk again is scary, but with time and a lot of hard wor,k things become easier.
"The gym at Lennoxtown must be sick of the sight of me, but the long hours and hard graft have paid off! From the first running session back, I was determined to become fitter and stronger each day. I've pushed myself to new limits.
"I was absolutely buzzing to be reintegrated back into training and games in the latter part of the season; it felt like I'd never been away."
