Pre-season training heated up on Wednesday, with the players put through a skills and running session in the morning before heading back inside for more training.

First, the playing group did some post-training strength work before breaking for lunch getting stuck into another tough session.

That session was an intense circuit, which pushed the players through different activities in short spurts.

Check out the best photos below.
