Niall Morgan says he's loving every minute of playing in goals for Tyrone.

Since walking away from soccer club Dungannon Swifts to concentrate on gaelic football, the Edendork clubman has made the No.! jersey his own, clipping over 0-13 from placed balls as the Red Hands have marched through to Sunday's league final:

"I've loved every minute of it," he says on gaa.ie. "The commitment is mad, what you have to do to be an intercounty footballer.

"I never realised it, but I definitely can't argue with anything that's happened so far. It's been absolutely fantastic to get the chance and long may it continue.

"Playing with Tyrone is a whole lot more intense. In the soccer, people probably don't realise the step-up in commitment.

"In soccer you get paid for it and it makes it a whole lot easier to commit whereas the Gaelic is completely amateur so it definitely takes a lot more commitment to play it. But I am very happy with my decision.

"It's almost like a job to tell you the truth. You have to keep yourself right at all times and watch everything you do, making sure you do it all right.

"Even in training, you have to be ready for every session whereas at club level you can bluff the odd day. At county level, you would get caught out if you tried to take short cuts." Tweet
