Odhran Murdock

Odhran Murdock is a Gaelic footballer who plays for Burren and the Down county team.[1] His performances for Burren and Down led to interest from the Australian Football League, which invited him for trials.[2][3]

Murdock won an Ulster Under-20 Football Championship title in 2023.[4] This was after Down senior manager Conor Laverty expressed interest in using him for a 2023 Ulster Senior Football Championship game if he was not playing for the county's under-20 team.[5]

Eventually joining up again with the Down senior team, Murdock scored a penalty in the 84th minute of the 2024 Tailteann Cup semi-final to send Down through to the final.[6]
