Mayo manager Stephen Rochford has made one change to his side for Saturday's Connacht SFC semi-final against Galway in Castlebar.

Tom Parsons returns to partner Jason Gibbons at centre-field after having missed out on the champions' 13-point victory over London in Ruislip through injury.

The Charlestown clubman's inclusion sees All-Ireland U21 winning captain Stephen Coen drop to the bench, with the other 14 players retaining their starting positions.

Conor Loftus, who struck 1-2 off the bench against the Exiles, is also amongst the substitutes, along with Ger Cafferkey, Barry Moran, Seamus O'Shea and former captain Andy Moran.

Throw-in at McHale Park on Saturday is at 7pm.

Mayo (Connacht SFC v Galway): Robbie Hennelly; Brendan Harrison, Kevin Keane, Keith Higgins; Lee Keegan, Colm Boyle, Patrick Durcan; Tom Parsons, Jason Gibbons; Kevin McLoughlin, Aidan O'Shea, Jason Doherty; Evan Regan, Cillian O'Connor, Conor O'Shea.
