Armagh forward Stefan Campbell has set himself a difficult challenge - filling the boots of the departed Jamie Clarke.
Crossmaglen Rangers ace Clarke wont be available to the Orchard County in 2016 and Clan na Gael attaker Campbell is ready to step up to the mark.
"I am going to have to step up," the 25-year-old told The Belfast Telegraph. "I have been here long enough now, I played with Jamie for three or four years. He is gone now. I am looking at this as an opportunity to become the main man. A lot of younger lads are coming through, similar to the way I looked up to Jamie when I came into the panel.
"And if I can perform like Jamie has performed in previous years, I will get a reaction out of those younger lads so I am really looking forward to the year ahead.
"Jamie has class that is second to none but I think it is more about how the opposition see him; they look at Jamie as the marquee forward so he was often double-marked and it allowed other players to be freed up.
"As a team we are not going to dwell too much on Jamie's decision to leave but I think we have adequate players, like Gavin [McParland], who can score goals - and you have Andrew Murrin too and other young players and it will be interesting to see how they get on."
