It wasn't another of Irvine's new signings but it was the return of goalkeeper, Wayne Henderson, to training after over twelve months ont he sidelines. The re-introduction shocked even Irvine himself!
Henderson was out with a back injury going back to September of last year when he was set to join up with the Republic of Ireland squad last year. The injury became career threatening and only now has Henderson been able to resume training.
The stopper is still not considered ready for the first team squad. Other long term absentee, Liam Chilvers, suffered a minro set back as he felt his hamstring tighten during is reserve team outing which will put his comeback on hold for a week.
