Leitrim half back Paul Brennan's club transfer from Melvin Gaels to Bundoran has been approved.

The player's former club held a meeting last week and decided to grant Brennan's requested transfer, which was then endorsed by Leitrim County Board.

The Leitrim Observer is reporting that the player is now also eligible to represent Donegal as the transfer also covers intercounty football. (However, he would not be allowed to represent Rory Gallagher's side until he has represented his new club in a championship match.)

Writing in his weekly column in the newspaper, former Leitrim footballer Colin Regan states: "I have no doubt that the promise of a potential All-Ireland at county level has turned Paul's head. It certainly isn't the prospect of playing his club football with Bundoran that prompted him to make what I see as a backward step over the Donegal border."
