James Reilly has returned to the Cavan senior football squad ahead of the Allianz Football League.
Reilly was among a host of players believed to have been axed by Cavan manager Val Andrews in November - he was reported to have been told by the manager that he was surplus to requirements for 2012.
However, the goalkeeper has hinted that work commitments forced him to take some time away but he is back in full training and will be a member of the Cavan panel for Sunday's Allianz Football League clash with Wexford.
"I'm only back training a few weeks, I was training before Christmas, but something came up work wise, which took up a lot of my time," Reilly explained to the Anglo-Celt.
"I'm back at full tilt now and training is going fierce well at the moment. Val is an easy going sort of man, a bit like myself, he's been around the block and he knows what's what."
