FANS' favourite Tim Street returns to action tonight and is eager to make up for lost time.

Prop Street begins his comeback in the Alliance team that takes on Batley at Leigh Miners (KO 7.30pm) after sitting out the last five weeks with a broken thumb. Provided there's no reaction Street will go straight back into the 17 for Sunday's first team trip to Hunslet Hawks. "Timmy's been champing at the bit to get back into action, especially now that it's a week since he had the plaster cast off, "says coach Paul Terzis.

"What he needs now is plenty of game time. It will be like signing a new player to have him out there again."
