Premiership: Dyer declares delight at long-awaited return

Kieron Dyer finally put an end to his injury nightmare as he returned to action in Newcastle’s hard-fought win at his former club Ipswich and declared: ‘‘It’s great to be back.’’

Dyer last appeared almost 10 months ago, on February 24 at home to Manchester City, and has since been ruled out with shin-related problems.
