Pat Spillane Junior is poised to join the Sligo senior football panel.

The Kerry native - who is a son of the eight-time All-Ireland winner of the same name - starred for St Jude's in the Dublin championship last year.

He qualifies to represent Sligo through his mother, Rosarii, who is a native.

Wright won nine of the last ten legs to seal the title at the Alexandra Palace.
