Stephen O'Neill has declared himself for Tyrone's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Dublin on Saturday after undergoing stem cell treatment for a hamstring injury.

The Clann na nGael clubman attended the Ulster Independent Clinic in Belfast last week in a bid to cure a troublesome hamstring problem which has forced him to miss a lot of football this summer. Stem cell therapy speeds up recovery time by bringing more "repairmen" to the injured area where there is a decreased blood supply or low oxygen level.

O'Neill was restricted to a brief appearance off the bench in last weekend's fourth round qualifier win over Roscommon, but is hoping to play a much bigger part for the Red Hands on Saturday. Tweet
