Allstar, POTY Niamh McLaughlin is the star of LGFA. Open, honest and insightful

Three cruciate surgeries would finish most players- not Niamh McLaughlin! A professional footballer with Newcastle & Sunderland, a European championship final and a trip to the World Cup with Republic of Ireland shattered because of injury. Despite this, Niamh picks herself off the floor and earned the biggest individual accolade in Gaelic football- Player of the Year. It's a fascinating insight into drive, achievement and what makes her different?

In her only broadcast interview, Niamh explains why she's taken up an offer of playing professional Australian rules with Gold Coast Suns. The Donegal captain lifts the lid on the money involved and why she made the move to the AFLW.

Niamh also reveals her aspirations around amalgamation between the LGFA, GAA & Camogie Association. It's honest!
