NORWICH Captain Mark Fotheringham has told First News that he and his team mates are raring to go, and that training is going well.

Speaking exclusively to canaries.co.uk, Fozzy said he's happy to be back at Colney. "Everything's going great, it's good to be back. It's nice to have a break, but it's also really good to get back into training because it can become a little bit boring back at home.

"We're all given a program and we have to run all the time over the holidays. Some boys do it three times a week, some guys every day of the week. It keeps you ticking over and it means when you get back to training you don't feel it affects you so much and you're ready for it. "

Asked how he felt about City's 2008-09 fixtures, the Scottish midfielder was positive about the season ahead.

"I can't wait. The first game against Coventry, it's going to be great, and it's very exciting. It's going to be a very tough league this year with teams who have come down and also those which have come up, with the likes of Swansea and Nottingham Forest it's going to be hard but we're all looking forward to it."
