But while he nears an eagerly anticipated return the 26-year-old has been rewarded with a contract extension, one which will keep him at the club until the summer of 2018.
And after dotting the Is and crossing the Ts on his new contract, Beck can't wait to add to his 103 Ospreys appearances.
"It's been a tough year for me, it seems like a really long time since I played any rugby, but the good thing is that, fingers crossed, I'm raring to go and really excited about getting back into action," Beck told the club's official website.
"I'm someone that always wants to be playing every week but I've had to be patient and work my way back to fitness with the physios and conditioners.
"I've had great support, from them, from the coaches, everybody at the Ospreys, and now that I'm back in training I just want to pay them back for that support.
"We've got a really young group at the moment, that's one thing that stands out for me. There's so much exciting talent coming through the ranks, it's really exciting to be a part of the squad at the moment and I'm looking forward to getting back out there and competing for a place."
