Galway boss Paraic Joyce has confirmed that former footballer of the year Paul Conroy has committed to the senior panel for the 2026 season. Joyce has seen his squad peppered with early season injuries and Galway lost Liam Silke in the warm up before Saturday night’s thrilling draw with All-Ireland champions Kerry. But after watching his team fight back from a 12-point second half deficit, Joyce confirmed that his totemic midfielder will be back with the panel shortly and has committed to another season in maroon. “We’ve been chatting all along and now Paul Conroy is back and committed for the year. We gifted Kerry 2-4 or 2-5 in the first half but you can’t fault the lads for heart and effort.
