Mulligan follows Jordan by ending self-imposed Tyrone exile

OWEN MULLIGAN returned to training with Tyrone last night exactly a week after failing to turn up for a session.

His absence last week sparked rumours that he had left the panel but according to officials at county board level and in his club Cookstown he has been enticed to rejoin the camp.

In doing so, Mulligan has followed the example of teammate Philip Jordan, who also returned to the panel after earlier excusing himself.
