Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher insists he never had any doubts that he would return to playing and is confident his fitness issues are now behind him.
Fletcher made a welcome return to action as a substitute in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Aston Villa after making his last appearance on Boxing Day last year.
The Scotland international was restricted to just 13 appearances last season as he battled with a chronic bowel condition which has plagued him for the last two years.
Fletcher, who was forced to take an extended break from playing after being diagnosed with the bowel condition in November 2011, now believes he is fully over his fitness problems and is determined to kick-start his career again.
“This is it, I’m back for good,” Fletcher told MUTV. “This is hopefully the game which means I’m back now.
“I seem to have come through the setbacks and health issues and I’m thankful for that. It’s onwards and upwards now.
“I always believed I would come back, I kept that mindset. I think other people around me were trying to make me think otherwise, but I stayed strong and believed I would get back.”
