Galway reaping rewards from change of Harte

Aidan Harte celebrates his 30th birthday tomorrow, his late-blooming inter-county career continuing to thrive because of a decision made by two men preparing for a county final four years ago.

Harte’s time in the maroon shirt can be neatly packaged into two parts; everything that didn’t happen for him, as a forward and midfielder, up until the 2015 All-Ireland quarter-final against Cork and everything he made happen for himself in his new half-back role.
