Tom Harris takes a big step forward along road to recovery.
By Brian Dick, Coventry Telegraph. October 7 2011
TRY machine Tom Harris is hoping to come back better than ever before after taking a significant step along the road to recovery.
Having finished last season as the club’s leading scorer the Coventry wing is yet to play this term because of a long-standing toe injury.
But the 24-year-old had his protective boot removed yesterday and he is aiming to be available for first-team action in the next fortnight.
With wing partner Jeff Gregson potentially up for selection in this weekend’s clash with Cambridge, Cov’s excellent start to National One is set to receive a major boost.
Harris scored 18 tries in his first year at Butts Park, while Gregson was not far behind with 14 as they rekindled the prolific partnership developed at Rugby Lions.
But both have been confined to the sidelines so far this term, a fact Harris has not enjoyed.
“I have been to the majority of games, it’s good to see the boys doing well but I am beside myself watching,” he said.
“The adrenalin is there just as if you were playing, I just want to get out there and do something with it.
“It has been hard work being away from the lads, you miss the banter and the involvement.
“I am there at most training sessions but not physically involved so I don’t even really know any of the new boys
