SPECULATION is growing that Jim McGuinness will play a casual role with the Galway footballers over the coming months after Pádraic Joyce enlisted the former Donegal manager's services for a training session today. Footage emerged on social media of McGuinness putting the Galway squad through their paces in Tuam Stadium today which had tongues wagging about a sensational return to the inter-county fold for the much-vaunted Glenties clubman. McGuinness hasn't been involved in management or coaching since being relieved of his duties as head coach of US soccer side Charlotte Independence in June of last year, just six months into his three-year contract.

Joyce is sure to be questioned on McGuinness' role when he gives a media briefing tomorrow morning at Galway's Centre Of Excellence in Loughgeorge ahead of their Allianz FL Division 1 tie with Mayo this Sunday in Tuam.
