Shaun Higgins has been placed back on the club’s Primary List as he prepares for his long-awaited AFL comeback.

The forward has been out of action with a knee injury since Round 7, when the Roos played St Kilda.

The 28-year-old could be welcomed back into the side this week to play against the Giants, meaning he’ll be ready to launch an assault on the finals.

Higgins replaces Farren Ray on the roster, who will now go back onto the Rookie List.

Taylor Garner has been shifted from the primary list to the Long Term Injury List.
