Jack McCarron hoping ‘rough years’ are behind him

Injury plagued Monaghan attacker Jack McCarron is keeping his fingers crossed that he’s finally turned his back on a ‘rough’ few years.

The classy Currin forward has struck 2-14 in his last three Allianz league games, including 1-7 against Roscommon on Sunday, to fire Monaghan to joint top spot in Division 1.

His top form is well timed as Monaghan required a fresh scoring outlet to take the burden off talisman Conor McManus who hit a remarkable 48 percent of their scores in the 2016 league.
