Lilywhites starlet Hurley poised to make move to AFL

Kildare could be about to lose another senior footballer to the AFL, with reports in Australia suggesting that Seán Hurley is expected to join Fremantle in October.

Hurley, who participated in the AFL Draft Combine in 2012, trialled with the Dockers at the end of last year but wasn’t signed up, despite apparently having impressed with his speed, aerobic fitness and kicking skills.

The official AFL website has reported that Hurley and Fremantle have been working on an agreement that would see the 22-year-old join the west coast outfit at the end of the current GAA season. He would be registered as an international category B rookie.
