Tyrone senior footballer and former Afl footballer Conor Mc Kenna joins us on the show this week! We jump straight into life back in Ireland, following his arrival in August. He spent the last 6 years in Melbourne, playing with Essendon in the Afl. Mc Kenna caught the eye of scouts in 2013, when he lit up the All-Ireland minor championship, playing with Tyrone, eventually receiving offers from 5 Australian clubs. Electing for Essendon, he arrived down under in late 2014 and began the pursuit of a professional sports career. And it didn't take him long to make his presence felt, scoring a goal with his first kick on debut, in early 2015. From his second season on, he played consistently at half-back and was recognised as a force throughout the league. Admittedly, he battled homesickness throughout his time in Australia, and ultimately decided in early 2020 that he would be bound for Ireland before the end of the year. He rejoined the Tyrone panel as soon as he touched down and was a key performer for them, though they were disappointed their season was cut short by Donegal. Mc Kenna reflects on all of this and more in the episode and opens up candidly about life outside of sport and the sort of free-spirited mentality that no doubt helps him perform the way he does. We hope you enjoy the episode!
