Sheehan scotches AFL claims and commits to Rebels again

CORK football star Ciarán Sheehan has denied rumours that he is set to join AFL club Carlton Blues in 2012.

Stories in recent days suggested that Carlton’s general manager of football operations, Steven Icke, had confirmed the move, with Sheehan apparently set to travel to Australia next October after the 2011 GAA season ends.

While the Éire Óg player spent four weeks on trial with Carlton last year before returning home again and joining the Cork senior panel, he does not see himself returning to the Melbourne club.
