Derry sharpshooter Paddy Bradley says he needs as many games as he can get between now and his team's Ulster SFC opener against Armagh on May 16.

The Glenullin ace returned in his county's defeat to Kerry at the weekend after a five-month lay-off due to the heel injury he suffered last season.

"It was giving me bother towards the end of the second-half," Bradley said on the injury after the game in Tralee.

"It's all about getting games at this stage. I'm doing a fair bit of training on my own and with the team for the last few weeks, but it's matches I need between now and the championship. It's about trying to get the sharpness back."

Derry's next outing is against Mayo this Saturday night at Celtic Park, where Bradley will be hoping to continue his return to full fitness. Tweet
