Dromard footballer set to boost his club in the county championship
After spending the last three years in Australia, news has broken that Dromard footballer Matt Duffy’s time with Carlton in the AFL is over.
Carlton have confirmed that Matt will leave the club at the end of this week and that the 22-year-old Longford man will return home with the opportunity to assist Dromard in the Peter Hanley Motors senior football championship.
Regarded as one of the best young players in the county, the end of Duffy’s Australian adventure is disappointing but his availability to line out with Longford next season is a definite boost
Matt joined the Carlton club in 2023 but endured a difficult spell in the AFL. He missed 12 months due to an ACL injury he picked up prior to even moving to Australia and did not feature for the first team at AFL level, although he did perform well in the VFL.
