Seamus Coleman has been spotted training with his local Gaelic football team, Killybegs, sparking speculation about a potential code switch. The 37-year-old, who recently concluded a 17-year stint with Everton, remains a free agent. Although fans buzzed on social media about a return to Gaelic sports, he was only using the sessions to maintain his fitness.
Coleman, captain of the Republic of Ireland, left Everton after deciding against a coaching role offered by the club. He remains determined to prolong his professional football career to keep his international prospects alive. During his youth in Donegal, Coleman was a talented Gaelic footballer at the minor level before committing fully to professional association football in 2009. While he has previously hinted at playing for Killybegs in the future, his current focus is solely on securing a new professional team as he aims to remain available for national team selection.
