Mayo hurling stalwart Cathal Freeman believes that having Keith Higgins on board full-time with the county hurlers in 2021 will be a priceless addition for the team.

Higgins retired from inter-county football in January, but signalled his intent to give his full focus to the Mayo hurlers this season after trying to play both codes on and off over the years.
