It had been a huge part of her life, but for the first time in almost two decades, Roscommon’s Jenny Higgins has found herself taking a break from the inter-county game in 2023.

A senior panellist since 2010 - having previously impressed for the Connacht side through the various underage grades - Higgins will be embarking on a new adventure in the coming weeks. Along with Kerry duo Paris McCarthy and Julie O’Sullivan, the 31-year-old primary school teacher has signed up with Sydney Swans for the forthcoming AFL Women’s season.
