Injured James Morgan hopes to play some part for Crossmaglen Rangers before their season is over.

The teak tough defender missed the Armagh SFC due to ankle ligament damage and is unavailable for this weekend’s Ulster Club clash with Clontibret, but he could force his way back into the reckoning thereafter … if the Orchard County standard bearers get past their Monaghan counterparts:

“I'm hoping that, if we get over Clontibret, I'll be available to try and earn a place for the next day. There is still a lot of competition within our squad but if I get back training it'll be fantastic and any game time after that will be a bonus,” he told The Irish News.

“It has been a long season of injuries for me and I'm ready to put that behind me. I've had many injuries but I've decided this is my last one, this is my last injury. I'm ready for a bit of luck, maybe I need to go to Mass a bit more!

“It's fiercely competitive for a club side but the impact of players off the bench is what got us over the line on many occasions. That would be my first port of call – if I can get healthy enough to come on and do a job and help the team succeed that's what I'll do. First and foremost, I'm just going to try and get myself healthy enough to be available in some way.”
