Nixon admits more GAA stars will be offered AFL contracts

RICKY NIXON, the Australian sports agent responsible for bringing Tadhg Kennelly, Martin Clarke, and Colm Begley to the AFL admitted that of the 23 players that attended Monday’s screening camp in Dublin, at least “three to five of those will be offered contracts.”

Nixon, who has been widely condemned by GAA hierarchy in the past, also believes that he was “doing nothing wrong” by hosting the camp. He also intimated that he hoped what he was doing “would make the GAA sit up, take note, and do more for the younger players in Ireland.”

“I don’t work for the GAA, I’m not from the GAA, they didn’t talk to me and I didn’t talk to them, nobody knew I was in Ireland and I don’t want to get into it (that debate) again,” he added.
