Down star Jamie O'Reilly is reportedly on the verge of tying up a deal with top Australian Rules Football side Richmond Tigers.
O'Reilly met up with player agent Ricky Nixon at his Loughlinisland club last week and is seemingly on the brink of move Down Under.
"Although I haven't put pen to paper, after speaking with Ricky tonight, I will sign for Richmond," O'Reilly admitted.
"It's almost a done deal. I just need to get my university arrangements sorted out there.
"I had a chat with James (McCartan)and he was very supportive about my move and said that I would be welcome back into the Down fold at any time in the future."
Also reportedly heading to the southern hemisphere for a three-week trial is Antrim player Tomas McCann.
