Wynter 'looking forward to getting back in the mix'

Ben Wynter believes that he will return to Torquay United’s promotion-chasing squad physically stronger than when he left it, for a second time in a year.

The Gulls’ Young Player Of The Year is in contention for Saturday’s live TV home game against FC Halifax Town after more than two months out with a hamstring injury.

Wynter missed a similar spell last season with a hip problem and he says: “I thought last year’s injury was long, but this has felt like a longer road.

“I’ve spent a lot of time in the gym and it’s has given me a chance to strengthen my whole body.

“I do feel stronger all round for it, and I hope that helps me over the rest of the season.

“It’s great that the team is still doing well and I’m looking forward to getting back into the mix.”
