Cardiff City forward Paul Parry is delighted to be back to full fitness and in contention for a place in the Bluebirds side for the FA Cup final against Portsmouth this weekend.

The 27-year-old former Hereford United star missed the semi-final win over Barnsley due to a hamstring injury, but has recovered in time to feature in the upcoming Wembley showpiece.

Parry told the South Wales Echo: "I am feeling good, it is just great to be fit and available for selection.

"It was an absolute nightmare to be out for the semi-final. I thought it had wrecked my dream, but the lads got us to the final and it is a great feeling.

"As soon as the final whistle went in the semi, I knew my aim was to get fit for the final. There was never a doubt in my mind I was going to be fit for it.

"Who would have thought at the start of the season we would have made it? It is like a dream come true. We want to go out there and do ourselves justice."
