He was nominated for an All-Star in 2017 after the Orchard reached the All-Ireland quarter-finals.

But Clarke later informed McGeeney he was heading for New York.

He went on to score 0-5 in NY’s 2018 Connacht SFC loss against Leitrim at Gaelic Park in May.

Justin O’Halloran’s Exiles almost caused a major shock and only lost 0-19 to 1-15 after extra-time.

McGeeney also hopes to have Stefan Campbell back next year. He also spent the summer in NY.
