David Fitzgerald has released a statement confirming that Colm Galvin is back in the Clare senior hurling panel.

The 2013 All Star has been based in Boston since the end of the national hurling league but is back in the Banner fold ahead of their Qualifier against Offaly on July 4th.

"Ahead of his departure to the US, the management team assured Colm that the door would remain open for his return to the squad should he decide to come home over the course of the summer," the Clare manager points out in his statement.

"During the past couple of weeks Colm expressed his desire to return and through regular communication with his father Kevin, we were only too delighted to invite him to rejoin the squad.

"Colm is an exceptionally talented hurler and had been a key figure in the Clare side up to his departure following the National League in April. He will resume training with the rest of the panel this week.

"Pending match fitness, I expect that Colm will be part of the match day panel in next week's Qualifier tie. In the meantime, the management and players are delighted to welcome him back into the fold,"
