McAuley on mend for Town
The Northern Ireland international suffered a hamstring strain and a knee-ligament problem last term, but he should recover in time to begin pre-season training with the rest of the squad.
Byard told the club's official wesbite: "Gareth has worked really hard to get back to fitness and he's ahead of schedule.
"He still has a bit more to do yet and has to take part in ball-work sessions, but if he continues to progress he should start pre-season training with the rest of the group."
