Sean Purcell aiming to keep Roscommon’s resurgence going

Sean Purcell was only a spectator as Roscommon swept through the divisions over the past two years but now he is an integral part of the side which is taking the country by storm.

The 30-year-old took a season out two years ago to go travelling but when he returned from his adventures there was no call from John Evans to come back into the fold.

But impressive form for his club Boyle last season didn’t go unnoticed and the management team of Fergal O’Donnell and Kevin McStay were soon in touch.
