It would take somebody brave to tell Brian Gartland it’s time to hang up his boots and the Dundalk captain has no intention of giving up any time soon.
He’s been written off at varying stages of his career but, at 35, he’s as fit as ever and raring to go as a new era begins at Oriel Park under his former teammate Stephen O’Donnell.
Gartland returned to action in pre-season following a nine-month stint on the sidelines after tearing his anterior cruciate ligaments against Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght.
