Antrim’s forthcoming Tailteann Cup campaign could be undermined by further departures from the panel following their heavy 1-20 to 0-10 defeat to Cavan at Corrigan Park on Saturday.
However, assistant manager Stevie O’Neill stressed that the Antrim management wouldn’t stand in the way of players looking to spend the summer in the US.
First-choice full-back Ricky Johnston left the Saffrons just two weeks before facing Cavan in the Championship and it is understood the Creggan clubman is already stateside.
