Coleman training with Killybegs - but no GAA return for now
Former Everton defender Seamus Coleman has been training with Killybegs but a return to his local Gaelic football club is unlikely to be on the cards for now.
Seamus Coleman, the 37-year-old Republic of Ireland captain, has been training with his hometown Gaelic football side, Killybegs, in response to rumors of a potential return to the sport. Coleman left Everton at the end of last season after a 17-year career with the Premier League club. Despite featuring in June's international friendlies, there has been no official GAA return for Coleman yet.
Coleman, who grew up in Killybegs, played Gaelic football for his hometown club and St Catherine's during his youth. He chose to concentrate on his professional football career, joining Everton from Sligo Rovers in 2009, and made 433 appearances for the Toffees. Coleman has reportedly returned to Killybegs to maintain his fitness as he searches for a new football club.
While a return to Gaelic football with Killybegs remains a possibility, it is unlikely to occur while Coleman still has an active professional football career.
