Seamus Coleman hopes to play gaelic football again after his professional soccer career has ended.

The Everton and Republic of Ireland full back, who previously commented that gaelic was his No.1 sport when he was growing up, was doing a Questions & Answers session with young Toffees supporters when asked what job he might be doing if he wasn't a professional footballer.

"Thankfully I am a footballer; it's obviously the best job in the world, in my opinion," the former Killybegs and Donegal underage star replied.

"If I hadn't been a professional footballer, I played another sport back home, which was gaelic football. It obviously wouldn't be a job, it would be a hobby, as such, and it's something that I hopefully can play again sometime.

"But, as a job I'm not too sure, because all I ever really wanted to do was play football so I'm not too sure what I would have done, to be honest."
