Louth would welcome Murtagh ‘with open arms’
The 28-year-old Dublin based Parnells club man revealed before Christmas he’s frustrated with the lack of championship game time received with the Orchard County in 2011. He returned from three years with New York in the hope of regular action with Armagh but only appeared as a sub against Down and Wicklow.
It’s led the Louth-born forward to consider a switch to his neighbouring county and Wee County managerPeter Fitzpatrick has said he’d welcome him with open arms. Murtagh is a highly rated forwardhaving won an AIB All-Ireland Club title with his native Crossmaglen Rangers in 2007 before a three-year stint with New York whom he scored four points for in the 2010 Connacht championship against Galway.
