A ray of hope has appeared through the injury cloud over Jharal Yow Yeh, with Brisbane coach Anthony Griffin hopeful the Test winger will be fit to play in NRL pre-season trials.

Yow Yeh has vowed to end almost two years on the NRL sidelines by making a 2014 round one return after starting pre-season training a week earlier than expected.

And Griffin says Yow Yeh has already impressed after beginning his first full pre-season since his devastating compound ankle fracture.

"I am hoping so," said Griffin, when asked if Yow Yeh was on track to feature in pre-season trials.
