Collingwood's Levi Greenwood has stepped up his running as he works towards making a mid-season return from the anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered in last year's qualifying final.

The respected 30-year-old appeared in fine shape as he led the rehab group through a running session before doing extra sprints alongside the main training session.

Greenwood's contract expires at the end of 2020 but he is determined to give himself every chance to contribute on the field this season having cemented a spot in the Magpies' line-up last year.

Midfielder Taylor Adams also joined in main training in the Magpies' first session after the main break having dispensed of the moon boot he was wearing in December.
