Clare footballer Ailish Considine has signed a contract to play professional Australian Rules.
The Kilmihil woman is one of 18 international athletes who have travelled to Australia this week to take part in a national camp to test their skills, and has now been signed by Adelaide Crows.
Considine has also played Australian Rules with the West Clare Waves Team, and the Crows General Manager Phil Harper says they are confident she’ll successfully transition to AFLW, the women’s Australian Rules League.
Ailish now follows in the steps of Cora Staunton who played with the Greater Western Sydney Giants last season.
