Westmeath’s Connaughton rules out moving abroad for work

ALL STAR goalkeeper Gary Connaughton may be struggling for work but he’s ruled out emigration because playing for Westmeath means too much to him.

“I am in the construction industry and the last couple of months, there would be days when I wouldn’t be working at all because there’s just no work on. You would be worried about it all right,” Connaughton revealed.

Connaughton admits that thoughts of emigration have entered his mind but the lure of playing Gaelic football for the Lake County has been too strong to turn his back on.
