Josh Kelly
While he may not be the up and coming youngster or the veteran returning to full fitness, several reports suggest the star midfielder is training the house down in preparation for 2021.
Speaking to Giants Media, Kelly said he has welcomed the higher intensity in the off-season and is ready to take the next step.
โI had a big focus in the off-season to put the work in running-wise and add a bit of strength as well," he said.
โIโm always trying to continue to build on those things and see how I can improve my game.
โI was able to focus on a few things after an up and down year last year and try and implement them with the longer off-season.
โItโs been good to come back fit, I got the right work under my belt and now just need to stay healthy and stay out on the track so touch wood everythingโs all good.
โWeโve had a few tough sessions at the end of training which have been good little touch-ups; a few push-up circuits and contest sessions just to hone in on those things.
โItโs all because weโve got a quicker build up this season and we want to be raring to go come the end of February/start of March when we start getting into games."
Kelly took out the club's 2km time trial ahead of fellow star onballer Tim Taranto.
