Tyrone star McKenna signs with Essendon

Essendon Football Club in Australia have announced that Conor McKenna will join the Bombers as a rookie.
The Tyrone minor star has accepted a two-year contract with the AFL club.
The 18 year old qualifies as a Rookie B as he has not been registered in an Australian football competition for the past three years.
McKenna was identified for his talents last year and in his first AFL game in a combined Irish/Australian squad, the midfielder kicked four goals and was almost best afield.
Kildare footballer Paddy Brophy is also on his way down under.
The West Coast Eagles have confirmed a 2 year deal with the 20 year old.
