Seamus Coleman trains with Killybegs amid ongoing club search
Summary

Seamus Coleman is training with Killybegs after leaving Everton at the end of last season. The former defender has not yet joined a new club and was rumored to make a return to his local Gaelic football team. Coleman, 37, is maintaining his fitness as he searches for another football opportunity, having recently played in international friendlies for the Republic of Ireland. Though he previously expressed interest in a return to Gaelic football, it appears unlikely while he remains focused on his professional career.
