“I had a groin injury but now I’m back at training,” said Dove.
“It [being back on the pitch] has been great man, this is something that we love doing, and when you find yourself not being able to do it for such a long time, it’s frustrating.
“I mean I’m just happy to be back with the gents and just getting stuck in there and I’m hoping to be back with the team camping and traveling and obviously back at playing again.”
