Plymouth Argyle boss Tom Cleverley is "thrilled" that defender Jack MacKenzie has returned to full fitness.
The left-back completed 90 minutes for just the second time in his injury-hit career at Home Park in Tuesday night's Jersey Mike's Trophy penalty shootout win at Newport County.
The 26-year-old played 12 times in all competitions last season due to tendonitis in his knee and shin splints, and missed the early part of this season with an abductor injury.
But his first full game since the 2-1 win over Doncaster Rovers on 7 March proved to Cleverley that the former Aberdeen player is ready to go.
"He's one that we can really trust - everything from an environment and a values perspective is what I stand for," he told BBC Radio Devon.
"He's all in, he's serious about his job, he's aggressive, competitive and I'm thrilled to have him back and available from the start of every game now."
