Dublin hurling captain Eoghan O’Donnell has reportedly made a surprise switch to the county's footballers.
The Irish Independent reports that the Whitehall player has joined Dessie Farrell's squad days after their Leinster Championship final win over Kildare last Saturday.
O'Donnell was named Dublin hurling captain earlier this year, with Mattie Kenny describing him as a 'natural leader on the field' and a 'very good leader off the field' at the time.
He has been part of the Dublin hurling squad since 2015, with Irish Mirror columnist Davy Fitzgerald describing him as "one of the best full-backs in the game" recently.
Kenny's side crashed out of the Championship last month when Wexford and Kilkenny finished ahead of them in the Leinster round robin on scoring difference, with Galway topping the table.
Meanwhile, the Dublin footballers will discover their All-Ireland quarter-final opponents later this month after the first two rounds of qualifiers are played.
