FIT-AGAIN Callum Hart is set to make his return to competitive action TONIGHT after nine months on the sidelines.

The central defender has been included in Salisbury's squad that face Wessex Division One outfit at Andover New Street in the quarter-final of the Salisbury Hospital Cup (7.45pm).

It will be the first time he's a kicked a ball since Whites clinched the Sydenhams Wessex Premier title in May after dislocating his left shoulder on a summer holiday.

The 31-year-old successfully underwent an operation in September and has now had the thumbs up to play.

"The rehab is going well, the physiotherapist is happy with it so I've just got to get on the pitch now and hope everything goes to plan," said Hart.
