Armagh captain Aidan Forker says he’s not putting a timeframe on his return to duty with the Orchard men.

Forker has been sidelined since he had reconstructive surgery on his ankle during the inter-county season, missing out in the team’s Allianz League clashes against Monaghan and Galway.

Speaking to BBC Sport NI, the Maghery clubman says there’s no set date for him to return to action.

"The hunger is still there to keep going," said the 2024 All-Ireland winning captain. "I'm determined to get back, the boys are flying and I want to be part of that again.

"I usually like putting numbers on things but I haven't with us, I'm just going by how my body feels.

"I'm not saying it's going to be three, six or 12 weeks, I'm just going by how I feel."

He added: "Last year I wasn't feeling myself and I was probably lying to myself.

"I wasn't useful last year, I wasn't myself physically. I wasn't doing anyone a service. The itch is still there but you have to listen to your body. Hopefully I'm on the right track and over the worst of it."
