Monaghan’s Karl Gallagher has become the latest member of the Irish in the AFL after signing a contract with Adelaide Crows. Gallagher impressed during a recent trial with the club and joins as a Category B rookie on a two-year deal.

The 21-year-old, who played in every championship fixture under Vinny Corey this year, flew out for a trial last month. He will become the first Monaghan man to make the move.
