    Delap fillip for Potters

    29 Jun 2007 - 13:16:36

    Midfielder Rory Delap has given Stoke City a pre-season boost by revealing he will be fit to resume training next month.

    The 29-year-old Republic of Ireland international broke his leg in two places just ten minutes into his home debut against former club Sunderland in October.

    But following eight months on the sidelines, the former Southampton, Derby County and Carlisle United midfielder is ready to start pre-season training with the Potters.

    "It looks like I'm ready to start pre-season training with everyone else next Thursday," he told the Stoke Sentinel.

    "My aim had been to try to get back before the end of last season, but the next target was always to be fit for pre-season.

    "I feel confident in my own mind and the leg hasn't caused me any problems, but obviously you don't know how things will go until that first tackle.

    "I haven't had any full-contact training yet because there's only been one or two of us about over the summer, so the big test is still to come."
