FULLBACK Junior Bobby is eyeing a Hunters comeback after an ankle injury derailed his 2018 had forced his early exit from the team.
The Enga Mioks star and Paga Panthers captain told The National that he enjoyed his brief stint with the Hunters and he was determined to get back into the team.
“My aim now is to go back,” he said. “I’m trying to get my form back and putting in a lot of effort into my own training so I can play well this season with the Mioks and hopefully make the squad midseason.”
He said the 2018 season with the Hunters was a valuable experience and test for him as a rugby league player and he wanted to get another opportunity.
Bobby said playing under coach Matthew Church would also be special. His the overall aim was to play at a high standard, put up impressive stats and earn a chance in the 2021 pre-season squad.
“I understand that there are other good backline players in the Hunters line-up but I will try my best to impress Church and the management in the Digicel Cup,” he said.
Bobby led the Mioks to the Digicel Cup grand final against the Goroka Lahanis in 2018 after being released by the Hunters.
