Tyrone have been handed a timely boost ahead of the Championship with the news that talismanic defender Brian Dooher is back in training.
Dooher has been out of action since last August's All-Ireland SFC semi-final defeat to Cork but is in line to feature for the Red Hands in the Ulster Championship opener against Antrim on May 23.
Manager Mickey Harte said: 'That's a real bonus, and long may it continue.'
Harte also played down concerns over the fitness of defender Ryan McMenamin after he was forced off during a club game with Dromore at the weekend.
'It's an ankle injury that he had been having a bit of bother with and he maybe jarred it a bit when he landed during the game.
"While it's a little setback, I don't think it's a major cause for concern,' Harte insisted.
