Donegal manager Jim McGuinness expresses his delight at Michael Murphy's decision to rejoin the county team after a two-year absence. He highlights Murphy's significant contributions both on and off the field, emphasizing his high football IQ and the potential for a successful 2025 season.
Donegal boss Jim McGuinness has spoken of his delight at welcoming Michael Murphy ’s “incredibly high football IQ” back into his dressing room.
As well as continuing to impress with his club while away from Donegal, Murphy kept his finger on the pulse as a pundit with GAAGO as well as sitting on Jim Gavin’s Football Review Committee, whose rule changes will be voted on at Special Congress next Saturday. “Just a week to go. Some people are waiting on Santa, we’re waiting on the rules to see what’s going to happen and then as a coach, obviously all you can do is coach to the rules so we’re trying to understand them as quickly as possible and then get our head around how we can try and take advantage of them.”
