Big Apple sweet for Armagh stalwart Clarke

Jamie Clarke says he has no plans to return and resume his Armagh career and that he sees his immediate future in New York.

The 28-year-old was devastated when New York were pipped by Leitrim in the Connacht SFC on Sunday, but his intention is to stay in the Big Apple and he could be available for them again next year.

The news will be a big blow to his club Crossmaglen Rangers and Armagh fans, with Clarke on Sunday displaying some of the awesome touches that the Orchard County will miss this summer.
