MIDFIELDER Sean Lynch says it's great to be back after injury ruined the start of his season.

 

The 24-year-old has scored two goals in his two games following a return to Jimmy Boyle's starting line-up last month.

​

Lynch was forced to wait before making his competitive debut for Airdrie after suffering ankle ligament damage in the 1-1 pre-season friendly draw with Alloa Athletic.

​

But the ex-Falkirk and St Mirren ace is looking to make a positive impact in the 'Diamond' now that his injury troubles are firmly behind him.

​

He said: "I was frustrated to miss a few weeks at the start of the season but this is the first time my ankle has felt really good so I'm very pleased with that.

​

"I just want to get even fitter and move forward as an individual player and with the team.

​

"I'm extremely impressed with the players at the club. There are players with a lot of ability who are hoping to take this club to the next level."

​

Airdrie travel to Arbroath tomorrow following their 4-0 win over local rivals Albion Rovers in last weekend's derby clash with Lynch quick to acknowledge the importance of the victory.

​

He added: "It's always good for the players to win a derby for the fans. When you play for the club, you become attached to it. You develop a feeling for the place.

​

"You don't want the fans on your back by losing derbies. I'm a Hibs fan so I know how important derby matches are to the fans."
