Supple rejected Kildare

Dublin goalkeeper Shane Supple claims he was approached by Kildare management about transferring to the county last year after missing out on the Blues panel.

Former Ipswich Town goalkeeper Supple this past week withdrew from the Dublin camp but will step in for Pat Gilroy should Stephen Cluxton or Michael Savage become unavailable.

Supple, who led St Brigid’s to the Dublin championship and a Leinster final last year, said he had received a phone-call around this time last year from a member of the Kildare set-up about lining out for the Lilywhites instead of Dublin.
