All-Ireland winning Tyrone midfield Conn Kilpatrick has revealed his battle with a gambling addiction.

The 24-year-old Edendork star who last month starred in the county’s All-Ireland final win over Mayo admits that he racked up debts of between £10,000 to £15,000 before friends and family intervened in 2018.
