Scunthorpe goalkeeper Joe Murphy is itching to return to action after nine weeks on the sidelines. Murphy has not played since injuring his ankle in the 4-0 defeat by Leeds in January but he returned to training last Thursday. He told the club's website: "Recently I haven't felt too bad and I've been like a kid in a sweet shop - just to be back on the training ground was exciting." With his contract due to expire in the summer, Murphy is hoping to return soon. He said: "I am out of contract at the end of the season and need to play some games before then so it is getting a little frustrating."
