Gormley: Jordan return will boost Tyrone fortunes

PHILIP JORDAN’S u-turn on his decision to quit could transform Tyrone’s season, according to his half-back partner Conor Gormley.

Treble All-Ireland winner Jordan has played just a few minutes of National League football this year, causing a sensation by withdrawing from the squad following a brief substitute appearance against Kildare.

But the county’s only current All Star was persuaded by manager Mickey Harte to commit to another championship season, and his return has boosted the Red Hands ahead of Sunday’s Ulster opener against Monaghan.
