Owain Tudur Jones will make his return from injury

Jones and Way have been missing for almost a year, but after a long absence the pair return in a friendly against Cheltenham at Port Talbot.

"It is a very exciting time for me, to step onto the pitch again," said Jones.

"It is nice to be back involved with the lads training and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it," added Way.

Jones' promising young career has been hampered with knee injuries over the past couple of years.

His re-habilitation has included flying over to America to see specialist Dr Richard Steadman.

And now midfielder Jones, who has been involved with the Wales squad, is ready to resume his career and get back on the pitch.

"It has been quite a lonely year for me in terms of my footballing career and am just looking forward to getting back into the swing of things," said Jones, 23.

"I want to get my match fitness together, get sharp and cause the manager a headache and force my way back into the side."

Midfielder Way suffered a shin injury last October and after 11 months out is also relishing a return to football.

"I have had some really low moments and sometimes you do ask yourself if it is worth it.
