Westmeath outfit Garrycastle have been rocked by the sensational news that top forward Paddy Mulvihill is seeking a transfer to Roscommon kingpins St Brigid's.

Mulvihill has been an integral part of the Garrycastle side for over a decade now winning six-county and one Leinster title, while playing a big part in the South Westmeath side's victory over the Kiltoom outfit in the 2012 All-Ireland club SFC semi final.

The Westmeath Independent reports that a Croke Park official confirmed that the transfer had been granted, but Garrycastle would not comment on the matter when contacted by the Provincial paper.

A Croke Park official states: "At the moment the transfer has been granted and will be confirmed once St Brigid's register the player as a club member."

The loss of such a talented footballer, who has represented Westmeath at all levels down through the year will be a huge blow to Garrycastle as they seek to regain the county title, they last won in 2011. Tweet
