January comeback lined up for Moran

MAYO footballers received a massive boost with the news that injured ace Andy Moran is expected to return to action in January.

Current All Star full-forward Moran broke his leg in September during a trial game for the International Series.

Another major fillip for this year’s Connacht champions is that midfielder Pat Harte and star forward Conor Mortimer, who both missed out on the 2011 through injuries, will be available for selection in the coming year.

Manager James Horan also revealed that midfielder James Kilcullen and forwards Mark Ronaldson and Neil Douglas have been omitted from the Mayo training panel for 2012.
