Ger Brennan in surprise swoop for former Louth stalwart
The Wee County boss and Dublin All-Ireland winner is looking to build on a big first year when Louth achieved a series of firsts and made giant strides forward.
Ger Brennan has made a surprise swoop for former Louth stalwart Andy McDonnell.
McDonnell, a forward who last played for Louth in 2021, was a member of the side that lost out to Meath in the 2010 Leinster final.
Last year Brennan led Louth to a first ever All-Ireland quarter-final, having defeated Meath in Championship football for the first time since 1975.

The Dublin All-Ireland winning defender is clearly in no mood to rest on his laurels in a county, which has made great strides in recent years since Mickey Harte took over.
Louth also reached last year’s Leinster under-20 final, recording a shock semi-final victory over Dublin, while Craig Lennon became just the county’s second ever All Star.
The move for Newtown Blues man McDonnell, reported by LMFM, is nonetheless a surprise.
McDonnell has been training with the extended Wee County squad and will he hoping to make the cut when Brennan selects his squad for 2025.
Louth face Fermanagh in the Jimmy McGeough Cup game in Haggardstown next Saturday evening (5pm).
McDonnell, who can operate at midfield or in the half forward line, is a player who can cover a lot of ground and also has an eye for a score.
