Zoltan Gera is delighted being fully fit for West Bromwich Albion preseason.
Gera, 33, ruptured a cruciate knee ligament after coming back from Fulham last summer to start his second spell with the Midlands club.
But now he is hoping to be fit for the new season.
The Hungary international said: "After you've been out for a year and missed a whole season, it is exciting and emotional to get back with the team.
"I feel like I am starting my career again."
