Cats rookie James Parsons has hit the ground running as he looks to complete his first full pre-season program since joining Geelong.

"Last pre-season, unfortunately I was injured for most of it, so I was in the rehab group," the 19-year-old told Cats Media.

"But I'm coming in healthy [this time], so I'll try and train 100 per cent of it."

Parsons is coming off a very encouraging debut season in the VFL in which he played 17 games and kicked 14 goals.
