Conor McKenna is set to throw in his lot with the Brisbane Lions as he prepares to reboot his AFL career.
The Tyrone All-Ireland winner has courted the interest of a number of clubs but has plumped for the Lions, who can sign him in the supplemental selection period in the off season which doesn’t impact on their draft pick.
McKenna, who can operate in defence or attack in Australian rules, previously played for Essendon, making 79 appearances between 2015 and ‘20, though homesickness proved to be an ongoing issue for him and he eventually returned home two years ago.
