CARLTON HAVE swooped again to attract one of the the brightest GAA talents, signing Laois’s Zach Tuohy on a two-year contract.

The versatile Portlaoise clubman will join Ciarán Sheehan from Cork at a four-week training camp with the Melbourne-based outfit in the middle of July as the club aims to fast-track the duo’s Aussie Rules education ahead of pre-season training in November.

The 20-year-old Tuohy is the fourth Laois player to have taken the plunge in Australia, with Colm Begley, Brendan Quigley and Conor Meredith the others, though Quigley has since returned.
