Lawrie has scored four goals this season

AFC Telford United winger James Lawrie says he is hoping to be fit for the game against Harrogate after two weeks out with an ankle injury.

The 20-year-old picked up the injury in Telford's 1-0 victory over Workington on 1 February.

He then aggravated the same problem playing for Northern Ireland Under-21's against Wales.

"We're taking it day-by-day at the moment. Hopefully I'll be fit in time," he told BBC Radio Shropshire.

"I'm really enjoying it here and I want to get into the team. We've got such a strong squad and our aim is promotion and I want to be part of that," he added.

Lawrie, who arrived at the Blue Square Bet North side in August, had started to make an impact with the Bucks, scoring two crucial goals against Hinckley United in January before damaging his ankle.

Meanwhile, Telford manager Andy Sinton is still looking to strengthen his squad ready for the final part of the season.

He has already earmarked a goalkeeper to cover for Ryan Young, who is about to serve a four match suspension, and is also in the market for a defender and centre forward.
