Rising star Forde to miss all Galway’s season after emigrating to London

Galway football has been dealt a massive blow with news that defender Colin Forde will miss their entire 2014 campaign after emigrating to England.

Rising star Forde to miss all Galway’s season after emigrating to London

Forde, who captained Galway to the 2011 All-Ireland U21 title, and who played at full-back and corner-back in last year’s championship, is a physiotherapist and has taken up a position with a London hospital.

Manager Alan Mulholland said Forde represented a significant loss to the Westerners’ championship ambitions. The Killererin mans departure adds to Mulholland’s woes as the Galway boss is already planning without Michael Meehan for the opening two rounds of the league.
