Former Aussie Rules player Ciaran Byrne says he can’t wait to resurrect his inter-county career under new Louth football boss Mickey Harte
Dogged by a series of injuries during his five-year career with Melbourne outfit Carlton, and also since returning home in October 2018, Byrne’s difficulties in that regard have now thankfully cleared up.
“There has been a tremendous buzz in Louth since Mickey and (his former Tyrone assistant) Gavin (Devlin) agreed to come into the management set-up, and I’m really looking forward to getting involved with them,” enthused Byrne, who embarked on his Aussie Rules career when he was only 17 after appearing in the same trial as Dublin aces Jack McCaffrey and Ciaran Kilkenny.
