Galway ace Damien Comer says he doesn't envisage Sean Armstrong having any problems settling back into inter-county football.

Armstrong, who announced his Galway retirement two years ago, is set to re-join the Tribesmen in 2017 and Comer feels that the Salthill-Knocknacarra man will be a massive addition to the Connacht champions.

"With his mentality I don't think it will be a problem to him," Comer told the Irish Daily Star. "He has been around the block now. He knows the ins and outs of the county set-up and he's experienced it.

"It will be getting used to Kevin and his systems and his tactics. That's going to be the biggest change for him probably. Other than that, I think he's well equipped the way the county set-up is run. Obviously the break might have given him the bit of hunger that he wanted to get back in this year.

"It's a building process. There's a mixture. Even some young lads coming in from U21s or minor panels that are joining the training and with the experience of Army coming back as well, that's going to be a big boost.

"He had a great year with his club. It is great to see him back. He is a clinical forward. It's maybe another aspect to our game that we need.

"With Johnny (Duane) back from the States, I suppose the positive winning mentality of the Corofin boys when they rejoin the panel as well, it's going to be big going forward."
