West Coat Eagles star Sharrod Wellingham (pictured) is very close to a return this week from the knee injury that has kept him out of the Eagles side this year.

Wellingham suffered a knock on his knee at training early in March and with the injury taking longer than expected to recover, hasn’t played since.

Eagles footy manager Craig Vozzo says as long as the pacy wingman can get through training, the club is giving serious.
