McCann joins Aussie exodus

by Setanta Staff , 30 October 2009

Antrim footballer Tomas McCann has become the latest GAA player to sign up for an AFL trial down under.


The Cargin clubman is already in Australia for a trial with the Richmond club and has been given three weeks to make a mark, having already impressed talent scout Ricky Nixon in special training camps.


"Over these three weeks, I'll see if I like it or not," McCann told the Irish Examiner. "After that I 'd be able to say that it is something I'd love to do every day or not.


"If I'm not enjoying it, I'd come back home. It's something that I don't want to look back on in a few years time and regret not giving it a go," he added.
