Greg Inglis has returned to training with the South Sydney Rabbitohs following a ruptured ACL in the opening round of last season.

He had a light training session on Friday, with South's high-performance team observing Inglis, alongside coach Anthony Seibold.

South's head of high-performance manager Paul Devlin was ecstatic to see him complete the rehabilitation process, after sitting out for eight months.

"It's fantastic for everybody – staff included – to see Greg out there with the team," Devlin said.

"We've been cautious and are taking it really slowly with him. He's progressed well and is an absolute freak.

“He’s starting his re-conditioning return-to-training program now - he’s progressed really, really well. He’s been training at an exceptionally high standard - we’re very, very happy with him.

"Jared Wade (Sports Science and Rehab Coach) and Eddie Farah (Head Physiotherapist) have done a fantastic job with him in rehab, we’ve been very cautious and taken it really slowly with him.”

Inglis won't be allowed to perform stepping and leaping movements.

“He’s been training at an exceptionally high standard - we’re very, very happy with him. Looking forward to having him back on the field, re-conditioning him and getting some running into his legs over the next couple of weeks.”

Inglis will remain as South's captain, despite his rather forgettable season.
