Mitch Ward could return to first team action against Swindon on Saturday.

David Moore, Reds physio, said on the official website today: "Mitch completed the full 90-minutes of yesterday’s reserve team friendly and has suffered no reaction in training today. He is fit for selection".

The 31-year-old has been out since late-November and will be a boost for Glyn Hodges injury-hit squad.
