Down boss Conor Laverty exploring the possibility of a goalkeeping role for former GAA All Star and Aussie Rules player Marty Clarke
Down senior football manager Conor Laverty says they are exploring the possibility of Marty Clarke playing as a goalkeeper, 13 years after he last lined out for the Mourne County.
Clarke won an All Star in 2010 but his last appearance for Down was an All-Ireland qualifier defeat to Cork in 2011, shortly after which he returned to Australia to resume his AFL career. He is training alongside O’Hare and Kevin Anderson under the tutelage of Down goalkeeping coach John Devine, the former Tyrone number one. O’Hare has been Down’s first-choice goalkeeper this season, starting all their McKenna Cup and National League matches.
