SKIPPER Mike Whitehead is aiming to return to the Rotherham Titans side as they face his former club London Welsh this weekend.

Whitehead was carried off towards the end of Saturday's 15-0 defeat against Bristol after taking a heavy blow on the ankle.

But despite missing training this week as he recovers from the knock, Whitehead is optimistic that he'll return to the full-back jersey for Saturday's key game at Old Deer Park.

"I haven't been able to train but I'm aiming to be back," he said.

Titans go into the game desperately needing a win to drag them out of the bottom four in The Championship.
