Sligo boss proposes rule change to end US exodus

The GAA has been urged to stop hiding from the “epidemic” of players travelling to America during the summer and address it as a matter of urgency.

Sligo manager Niall Carew has offered his own solution but is concerned that younger players are being approached while still involved in the All-Ireland championship.

This, he argues, is not right but while impacting on counties’ plans, it is the clubs that are the most severely affected, he warns.
