GPA announces agreement with AFL players' body

The Gaelic Players Association (GPA) and their Aussie Rules counterparts, the AFL Players Association (AFLPA), have announced a player transition agreement to assist Irish players returning after a period in the Australian Football League.

The agreement will ensure that a wide range of development programmes is provided to players on their return home, including career advice, financial advice, and health and well-being support to assist with their reintegration into Gaelic Games or with their retirement from competitive sport.
