AFL outfit St Kilda have announced the signing of Meath prospect Eamonn Armstrong. The 18-year-old will join as a Category B Rookie.

The wing-back was Man of the Match in the Leinster U20 final as Meath bridged a 23-year gap earlier this year. Armstrong will become the second Irish player at the club, joining Cork’s Liam O’Connell.
