Jamie Clarke says he doesn't know whether or not he will be committing himself to the Armagh senior set-up for 2016.

Clarke came off the bench on Sunday to help his native Crossmaglen Rangers secure an 11th Ulster club senior title with an extra time victory over Scotstown.

However, while the 26-year-old has confirmed that he will be available for the Orchard kingpins' All-Ireland semi-final against Castlebar Mitchels on February 13th, his intentions to go travelling abroad again next year could rule him out of Kieran McGeeney's plans.

"It's in the pipeline, I don't want to rush into anything yet," Clarke told the Irish Examiner.

"It has been a tough year and from my own point of view, I have to think of my future as well away from football. It's difficult to balance football and work at the moment. There is a lot to think about but, ultimately, it's very difficult to leave the football behind. It pulls at the heart strings at times."
