CONOR MCKENNA HAS returned to the fold with Essendon and is expected to push for a starting place in their AFL season opener.
The Tyrone native’s future down under was seemingly uncertain when the admittedly homesick star returned to Ireland for an indefinite break last month.
But the club today confirmed the Eglish clubman was at Bombers training today and ready to go for the year.
“We’re confident that Conor has done the work over in Ireland,” assistant coach James Kelly told reporters today. “He’s told us what he’s done and we’re happy with that, so he’s available.

Essendon begin their season with a home clash against Fremantle on 21 March.
Great news especially with rojo being able to cover left full and centre half . Unfortunately the damage is already done for the league this season
@hard yaka: yeah hard yaka can’t see city being caught but great to have the 3 of them back.
Pogba will be a huge addition. He’s been a massive loss. As somebody who never rated Herrera, I’m glad the rest of the Utd fans have finally copped how limited he is.
@Lurfic: Most be you only man and a handful of others. I highly rate Herrera and quite a lot of united fan base too.
Herrera is a work horse, future captain I think.
Great news. Pogba is back. Hahahah brillo. Points be dropped even more so now.
@Is mise muc gránna: what’s that comment based on that doesn’t make any sense united have dropped more points without him playing so what sort of comment is that?
@John Barnes: Don’t feed the semiliiterate troll John.
@John Barnes: Because he actually hasn’t a clue what he is saying, just ‘attempting’ to be funny and kick off another war of words by muttering any old shit.
@Declan Doyle: that would be semiliterate……
@Jason Brosnahan: That’s correct. Careful or they’ll be after you also.
@John Barnes: The point is that in my opinion he is rubbish so great and brillo he is back.
@Is mise muc gránna: who actually says “brillo”? What are you 7 ?
@Is mise muc gránna: Know when you’re beaten. Shut it.
Happy days
Delighted to have them back especially Rojo the guy is a beast and a brick wall.
Yawn. So overvalued and over rated. Better than the crap playing at the moment to be fair though
