Donegal midfielder Jason McGee is seemingly poised to leave his native Cloughaneely and play his club football in Monaghan.
The ‘Donegal Live’ website has reported that the 26-year-old is taking up a job in Dublin and will transfer to Corduff, who currently play in the Monaghan senior championship.
McGee was player of the match as Cloughaneely captured the 2021 Donegal IFC crown, but his injury-enforced absence contributed to a deflating 2024 campaign. The Falcarragh-based club surrendered their senior status last September and will be playing intermediate this year.
Corduff are the home club of ex-Monaghan manager Seamus ‘Banty’ McEnaney while Rory Gallagher, the former Donegal, Fermanagh and Derry boss, has recently been involved with them as a coach.
Indeed, it was during Gallagher’s spell in charge of Donegal that McGee made his senior inter-county baptism, in 2017.
Earlier this month, Gallagher looked set to take up another coaching role with Joe Murphy’s Naas, only for the Kildare club’s executive to decide otherwise in the face of negative reaction.
GAA president Jarlath Burns had emailed the club expressing his reservations about the proposed move. This subsequently prompted Gallagher to threaten legal action unless Burns retracted the contents of his letter to Naas, something the president has declined to do.
