Mayo star David Brady may turn his back on his native county and transfer to Sligo after being told he can't juggle rugby with gaelic football.
Midfielder Brady is not expected to be accommodated by new Mayo boss John Maughan with much of his time taken up by rugby with Ballina in the AIL.
Maughan wouldn't comment but Brady said: "I will be waiting until the New Year before making any decision on football. But I definitely want to play championship football."
