Rory to play it safe on concussion

Dublin’s Rory O’Carroll will consider quitting Gaelic football if he suffers another concussion.

The full-back was, famously, left on the field for the last ten minutes of the All-Ireland final against Mayo in 2013 after being concussed and is an ambassador for Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Ireland.

O’Carroll stated yesterday that the decider two years ago was the only time he has been concussed. However, in an interview given last year, he remarked that he probably suffered another whilst still a minor, though that wasn’t diagnosed at the time.
