Nixon plans triple swoop
September 01, 2008
Australian players' agent Ricky Nixon has revealed plans for another AFL recruitment camp next year similar to the one which took place in Castlebar last week.
It has emerged that three AFL clubs - Saint Kilda, Richmond and North Melbourne - are to sign three young Irish talents at the camps set for Galway, one of which is alleged to be Antrim ace Niall McKeever.
"I'm pretty confident at least three players will be in Australia before the end of the year," admitted Nixon.
"He (McKeever) was outstanding in a mini-game of handball. He is super quick, agile and kept the ball.
"The other two vary from a big strong forward to a small, 5'10''- type player, a Marty Clarke-type, robust and energetic."
