St Kilda legend and current assistant coach Danny Frawley has given an update on defender Dylan Roberton's condition.

Roberton collapsed in a game earlier this season and has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

It was later revealed that the 27-year-old had issues with his heart which caused the collapse.

In good news, Roberton returned to training with the team earlier this week; Participating in light running.

Frawley, St Kilda's part time defensive coach spoke on how everybody at the club felt when Roberton made his return to the training track.

โ€œThe players were up the other end of the ground to me and they were all yelling and I was wondering what was going on," he told SEN Breakfast.

โ€œDylan Roberton was running a lap with Jarryn Geary and all the players got around him.

โ€œIt was great to see, this kid is probably number one, two or three in St Kildaโ€™s best player and heโ€™s got three young children.

โ€œHeโ€™s had a really significant illness with his heart and touch-wood, he had really good news from the doctors on Monday, heโ€™s able to join in some training, nothing over the top, but initially he wasnโ€™t allowed to get his heart rate over 80 or 90 so I think thatโ€™s great news for Dylan.โ€
