Rogers explains Laois refusal

FORMER All-Ireland minor winning captain Craig Rogers has turned down an invitation from manager Justin McNulty to rejoin the Laois senior football panel.

Rogers, 25, was contacted by McNulty on Tuesday but informed the former Armagh defender that he has no interest in a return to inter-county football.

He admitted snubbing the O’Moore County senior set-up was a difficult choice but he was left unhappy with a lack of game-time earlier this year and quit McNulty’s set-up last March.
