Tyone star Cathal McShane set to join AFL side Brisbane Lions in major blow to Red Hands

Tyrone star Cathal McShane is set to join AFL side Brisbane Lions, according to reports.

In what would be a major blow to the Red Hands, McShane looks set to join his former minor teammate Conor McKenna - who plays for Essendon - Down Under.

Reports in The Irish News and TeamTalkmag suggest McShane, who won an All-Star for his performances in 2019, will fly out to Australia in the coming days.

The Owen Roe’s clubman kicked seven points in last year's All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final defeat to Kerry.

His departure would be the latest blow to Tyrone manager Mickey Harte, who is already set to be without captain Mattie Donnelly for a large part of 2020 through injury.
