Millwall assistant coach Steve Gritt believes striker Neil Harris will return a better player after winning his battle against cancer.

Harris lasted for an hour in the reserve team's 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace after embarking on his second comeback since contracting the disease.

"Neil has been through a hell of a lot, but he's a strong lad and this will make him stronger," said Gritt.

"I'm sure he can come back and go right to the top.

"He's an out-and-out goalscorer, but he's improved as a player."
