STANLEY boss John Coleman has been boosted by the news that Ian Craney is ready to make his return as the Reds travel to Barnet tomorrow.

The midfielder, on-loan from Swansea, suffered a grade two tear of his hamstring against Bradford at the beginning of the month.

But the 25-year-old has made a swift recovery and, after completing an hour for the reserves on Wednesday night against Blackpool, Craney is back in contention.

Coleman said: "He came in and played really well against Bury and started well against Bradford but then he got injured.

"But he's worked really hard to get fit and I think when we get a fully flying Ian Craney he'll be then envy of a lot of teams in our league because they'd all like to have him.

"We're winning game and we've got a squad now who all champing at the bit to play and they're all keeping each other on their toes and that's something that maybe we haven't had in the past."
