No Earley return for league campaign
The former All Star midfielder, 33, hasn’t played since the 2010 Championship due to a complicated recovery from a cruciate knee ligament injury. He had hoped to feature last summer but required a second operation on the injury and is only now back engaging in straight line running.
The 1998 All-Ireland finalist said the feeling of being on the cusp of a major silverware breakthrough with Kildare has sustained him throughout the recovery process and he’s willing to bide his time.
