Johnston transfer saga ‘hurt GAA brand’

A member of the GAA’s management committee and Kildare’s representative at Central Council believes the Seanie Johnston transfer saga has damaged the association’s brand.

Marty McEvoy told the Kildare GAA County Board meeting in Newbridge on Tuesday night he believed the pressure put on the former Cavan Gaels star was unprecedented.

“As you all know I’m part of the management committee in Croke Park so I wear two hats,” he said.
