Armagh forward Rory Grugan says he hopes to be back available for selection for the Orchard men’s championship campaign which commences against Tyrone next month.

Grugan has missed his county’s entire Allianz League campaign thus and isn’t expected to be available for their remaining two games in Division 1 against Dublin and Kerry, respectively, as he continues his rehab from Achilles surgery.

Speaking to GAA.ie this week, the Ballymacnab clubman said he’s aiming to be back for manager Kieran McGeeney come championship time.

“As an impatient kind of person, the recovery has been a bit slower than I'd like,” said Grugan.

“My aim is probably to be back for championship at this stage. The league flies through and the weeks are running out and as much as I'd love to be there and help given how it's all going I'll probably just have to get my powder dry until championship that's the target.

“It's just the kind of pain that there is with it in the heel and I suppose I'm at a stage in the career with the age I am that I have to try and get it right for the long term and that it isn't just a short-term fix to play a couple of games and not be thinking about everything after.

“Like I said, a bit of patience is required, which isn't always my best virtue.”
