“Never say never” was Cathal McCarron’s reply when the possibility of switching his county allegiance from Tyrone to Kildare was floated but he admitted it is unlikely.
The three-time All-Star nominee recently brought the curtain down on his inter-county career with the Red Hands citing injury and the amount of travel involved as the two reasons behind his decision.
The 31-year-old currently lives in Athy and transferred from his native Dromore to the Kildare club last year.
“At the minute I couldn’t see myself doing that,” he remarked to the Irish News when the subject of a potential inter-county transfer to the Lilywhites was raised.
“I suppose you never say never, but to leave my own county to play for another one… I found it very hard to leave Dromore, which was a three-and-a-half drive for training.
“It’s hard to know what the future holds, but I’ll enjoy the next couple of months working, enjoying my work and club football.”
