RYAN WIGNALL is 'buzzing' to be back fully fit in time for Connah's Quay Nomads' thrilling end to the season.

Wignall missed just over two months with an abductor injury, returning to action last Friday by playing an hour in Nomads' 2-0 home win over Newtown.

"It's perfect timing," said Wignall. "It's been a long and very frustrating time out, but the team has done well.

"I'm just glad to be back fit and out there now.

"There's no good time to be injured, but it's frustrating when the team is doing well and it's the business end of the season.

"I'm happy to be back and I was glad to play an hour against Newtown on Friday.

"It's not just coming back from injury and seeing the season out because there is everything to play for.

"At the start of the season we tried to set out to go as far as possible in all of the competitions, and so far, so good."

And the all-action winger is eager to be named in the Nomads' starting XI for Saturday evening's Scottish Challenge Cup final with Ross County in Inverness (4.30pm).

"There are two big games coming up straight away, this final and next week's Welsh Cup semi-final," said Wignall. "We've got this final, the Welsh Cup semi-final next week and we are obviously still in the title race.

"I felt good against Newtown. I got a full week of training in and the week before I joined in with various things.

"I tried to walk through it so I didn't feel too bad. I was sore and stiff after it, as usual, but I feel good.

"It's a big game on Saturday, a tough game, but I can't wait to get out there because these are the games you want to be involved in.

"To be involved after missing the semi-final is even more important for me. The timing of my return has worked out in that respect.

"Everyone is buzzing to be involved."

Wignall was amongst a record-breaking crowd at the Deeside Stadium as Nomads held their nerve to overcome Edinburgh City 5-4 on penalties in the Scottish Cup semi-finals.

The 29-year-old adding: "It was very nerve-racking and frustrating to be sat watching and unable to help the lads out, but I was pleased that we got through."

Would Wignall volunteer to take a spot-kick if Saturday's final required a penalty shootout?

"I wouldn't shy away from it," he said. "I wouldn't say I am a regular penalty taker, but if the manager or the lads need me then I will happily step up."
