Ronan Clarke's recovery 'has taken a small step in the right direction'

All-Ireland winner was hospitalised following a collision with a goalpost.

SERIOUSLY INJURED ARMAGH forward Ronan Clarke “has taken a small step in the right direction” in his recovery.

The two-time Allstar sustained a head injury after colliding with a goalpost during a club game and was hospitalised in intensive care.

“We can update that there has been an improvement in his condition,” the Armagh county board wrote on Facebook on Tuesday evening.

He’s still not out of the woods and continues to need your prayers, but he has taken a small step in the right direction.

“His family have been made aware of the thousands of people, not only from Armagh and indeed Ireland, but from right across the world that have sent messages of support and best wishes.

“To everyone that has taken the time to send those, his family are eternally grateful.”

Clarke won the All-Ireland football title with Armagh in 2002 and was twice named an Allstar.

    He is overrated & not in the top 50 in the world in my opinion…. I’m all for people loving themselves but this guy takes it to the narcissistic zone.

    He’s an amazing player. granted he’s not in the real top elite Ronaldo /Messi level but he’s easily in the top 50. A complete narcissist but every bit as good as he thinks he is.

    He’s won a league title in 9 of the last 10 years, being the top scorer for his club in 9 of those seasons!! He’s a world class striker, easily top 8 players in the world!
