Jack O’Connor had dispelled rumours that he is going travelling later this year.

The Cork forward insists he's going nowhere as he prepares to line out for Sarsfields against Na Fianna in Sunday's All-Ireland club SHC final.

“That was actually a false rumour that was spread by one of the lads. I won’t be going travelling at all this year,” he told reporters.

“One of the work lads put up a story saying it and it just caught fire, I think Rob (Downey) reposted it on his story and it just caught fire. There were people asking my parents down in the shop if I am going away and stuff? But no, I’m not going anywhere.

“In fairness to Pat (Ryan, Cork manager), he’s been letting us off for the last few weeks so that we can focus on the club. I’m sure I’ll speak to him after the match on Sunday as regards a plan.”
