Ultan Harney will make his first Roscommon start in almost a year when they face Cork in the Allianz FL final round at Hyde Park on Sunday.

A back injury forced the Clann na nGael youngster to miss the entire 2017 championship but he has battled back to full fitness and made his long-awaited return to inter-county action as a substitute in last weekend's two-point win over Cavan.

Harney has been picked in the centre-back position as part of three changes in personnel with Colm Lavin replacing James Featherston in goal and Conor Daly coming in at wing-back while his brothers Ronan and Niall drop to the bench.

Roscommon (Allianz FL v Cork): Colm Lavin; David Murray, Peter Domican, Fergal Lennon; Conor Daly, Ultan Harney, Brian Stack; Tadgh O'Rourke, Cathal Compton; Ciarain Murtagh, Niall Kilroy, Conor Devaney; Donie Smith, Ciaran Lennon, Diarmuid Murtagh.

Subs: James Featherston, Cathal Cregg, Enda Smith, Fintan Cregg, Ian Kilbride, Niall Daly, Ronan Daly, Sean McDermott.
