Jake Doyle-Hayes is aiming to put his injury issues behind him as he prepares for the new season with Exeter City.
The 27-year-old missed the final three months of last season after undergoing surgery but returned to action in Monday's 2-0 Carabao Cup first round loss at Devon rivals Plymouth Argyle.
"Everything's gone well, everything went to plan," Doyle-Hayes told BBC Radio Devon.
"The physios have been really good with me and done everything they can to get me to where we are now and ready to go for the first game of the season," added the midfielder, who suffered a serious ankle injury while at Hibernian.
