Tribesmen target man Johnny Glynn commits to All-Ireland campaign

Galway hurlers have received a timely boost, with manager Henry Shefflin confirming that Johnny Glynn has joined the squad for the upcoming championship and has committed to them for the summer.

The 30-year old, a key figure in Galway's 2017 All-Ireland triumph, has not played for Galway since 2019 but was invited back for a training stint with them last month, following big displays when he came home to play for Ardrahan in last year’s county championship.

Glynn, who has been based in New York for almost a decade, joined Galway for a training camp in Portugal just before Easter and Shefflin has now confirmed in a briefing with local media that the powerful 6'5" forward is on board as they head into the championship.

"He’s very much part of the plans and for anyone who saw him play his club championship, we looked at him and said he performed very well and for the couple of blocks he has been with ourselves and in camp, he has performed very well," said Shefflin.

"So for that reason and in what we saw in the club, what we have seen in camp and in the training sessions and what he’s contributing to the group, it has been extremely positive so I’m delighted to say he’s willing to put a big, big effort into coming back and playing for Galway this year."

Glynn has not played for Galway since they were knocked out of the 2019 Leinster Championship but transferred back to his native club last year.

He continues to live in New York and commuted for those games with Ardrahan last year, sometimes taking in a couple of games on each trip home.
