FORMER LOUTH FOOTBALLER Ciaran Byrne has been named in the Carlton team for this weekend’s AFL game after a year on the sidelines.
21-year-old Byrne, who signed a rookie contract with the club in 2013, suffered a hamstring injury in training last April just days after making his debut.
However, he has featured in pre-season this year and scored a brilliant individual goal for Carlton’s affiliate club the Northern Blues.
Byrne comes into the team for Saturday’s meeting with the Gold Coast Suns, while fellow Irishman Zach Tuohy also starts a week after making his 100th appearance for the club.
