Tyrone have denied reports that Stephen O'Neill has left Mickey Harte's panel.
There was speculation over the weekend that the former Footballer of the Year had called time on his illustrious inter-county career after he lined out for his club Clan na Gael in a league game on Saturday, despite the fact that a 'starred' round of games excluded county players who are preparing for an All-Ireland qualifier against Louth next weekend.
But Tyrone PRO Eunan Lindsay confirmed to the Irish Independent that O'Neill had played for his club with the blessing of Mickey Harte, who felt the veteran forward could benefit from the extra game-time.
