It was a welcome return for the 28-year-old who has spent the last six months out of action with a serious knee injury.

The afternoon also proved a good one for two first team squad men who have been reduced to spectator roles for the last couple of games.

Attacking midfielder Josh Hawkes scored a hat-trick, with Louis Rooney, on loan from Plymouth for the rest of the season, getting the other goal.
