Gary O'Donnell (Gaelic footballer)

Gary O'Donnell (born 6 January 1988) is an Irish sportsperson, who plays inter-county Gaelic football for Galway.

He is a first cousin of double All-Ireland-winning former Galway footballer and two-time All Star Jarlath Fallon.

[1] O'Donnell, who first played football with St Colman's, Gort, also played hurling in his youth and was on the same under-age teams as later Galway senior inter-county players Aidan Harte and Greg Lally.

Gort's football team disbanded in 2009 and O'Donnell moved to Tuam Stars, as it was the club his cousins, the Fallons, played for.

[1] Having been an unused substitute in Galway's 2008 Connacht final victory over Mayo,[2] O'Donnell made his inter-county debut with in 2009.
