Stephen McBrearty.
Stephen McBrearty has been tipped to make a big impact for Donegal this season by a host of GAA commentators.
The younger brother of Patrick McBrearty has already established himself as a household name within Donegal – but many are tipping him to make a big impact for the Donegal Senior side this season.
Popular online website Joe.ie – profiled FIVE players who they think will make a big impact on this season’s GAA League and Championship campaigns – and McBrearty made that list.
Profiling McBrearty they wrote, “Provided he doesn’t get whisked away to the AFL, this powerful forward could provide a little fresh blood to Rory Gallagher’s Donegal attack.
“Watching an at times blunt forward division last year one might have imagined what Donegal could do with another Paddy McBrearty – well here is the next best thing, his younger brother.
“Like O’Callaghan, he was a minor star in 2014 and has been in demand of late, with the Kilcar seniors and U21s, plus Donegal seniors and U21s, calling on the roving corner-forward.
“Handed in a mixed McKenna Cup report card, but Gallagher is not so blessed with manpower that he can ignore the obvious talents of the latest McBrearty phenom.”
GAA website Hoganstand.com also compiled a similar list and again named Stephen McBrearty as a player to keep an eye on this summer.
