Fuham midfielder Jimmy Bullard hopes his injury nightmare is finally behind him after being able to take part in the start of the club's pre-season training regime.

The 28-year-old moved to Craven Cottage from Wigan Athletic in a £2.5million deal last summer, but suffered a serious knee injury in the 2-1 victory at Newcastle United ten months ago - only his fourth game for the Cottagers.

He told Fulham's official website: "I've been working hard all summer and it's great to see the lads back in for pre-season training.

"Even though my training regime is different from the rest of the lads at the moment, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

"It's been a frustrating period for me personally, but being back out there running is a major step in my rehabilitation and the first day of proper pre-season training has gone really well.

"Hopefully it won't be too long before I'm kicking a ball around again.

"As I've said before, I don't want to set a specific date for my return but hopefully it won't be too long into the season and I can't wait to get back out on the pitch and thank the fans for all their support in the best way possible - by putting in some good performances."
