Former Wexford football star Ciarán Lyng could be an AGB player in 2023 if his transfer application to join the Pearse’s Park outfit from St Martin’s is successful.
The former All-Star nominee would be a significant boost for the side now managed by his county colleague Colm Morris as they look to launch a serious challenge for the Miley Cup later this year.
The 36-year-old talented dual player was a staple of the Wexford Senior football team over the years.
He was part of the panel that reached the 2008 Leinster final where they were defeated by Dublin.
The Model men went on to the All-Ireland semi-final that year only to lose out to Tyrone.
Lyng was nominated for an All-Star that year and also lined out for Ireland in the International Rules Series as well as winning a county Senior hurling medal when he helped St Martin’s beat Oulart-The Ballagh in the decider.
The previous year he had won the man of the match award in the 2007 Wexford Intermerdiate club football final.
The St Martin’s man played almost 30 times for Ireland at underage level in soccer and was signed by Shrewbury Town in 2004 where he made a number of appearances over two seasons.
The AGB club declined to comment on the transfer application when contacted by this reporter.
