FORGOTTEN Collingwood midfielder Clinton Young has declared himself fit to take part in the NAB Challenge series starting next month.

Youngs 2013 season was ruined by a series of worrisome hamstring injuries, restricting him to just two senior games and consigning him to spend a large chunk of time in rehab.

"It was obviously a frustrating season last year. But throughout the pre-season I've really attacked it and things are going well for the season ahead," Young told collingwoodfc.com.au.

"The hamstring's been good. It was a bit slow at the start of the pre-season, but since sort of the end of December [I've been] doing full training."

Young's running power has been on display on the training track and he has joined his teammates in full training.

A strong focus on transition running has been employed under new fitness coach Bill Davoren and it's an area that Young is thriving in.

Hopefully he comes in and does well, he is such an impact player, and very important for our run and carry I believe.

Can break lines and has speed, something we lack.
