Former Scunthorpe striker Rory Fallon will return to the club for pre-season training in a bid to win a new deal.

Fallon has been sidelined since a knee ligament injury, sustained in manager Mark Robins' first game in charge against Colchester in October, cut short his previous spell. The 33-year-old Kiwi had scored three goals in four league games for the Iron after signing a short-term deal at the end of September. "I'm pretty much ready to go," well-travelled Fallon - Barnsley, Swindon, Swansea and Plymouth are among his former clubs - told the Scunthorpe Telegraph. "I've been in the gym almost every day, I haven't had many days off - even when I went to America I was still doing gym stuff. "I'm coming up to the eight-month mark now (since suffering the injury), which is usually the time you should be ready. "I'm just doing the stuff I need to do to get ready for pre-season at Scunthorpe. "The gaffer has said to come in pre-season and if I do well, there may be a contract for me. "There are no promises - I know the nature of the game."
