Tyrone GAA ‘All Star’ Cathal McShane announces plans to remain in Tyrone and new role with Keystone Group
Following speculation of a potential move to Australia to play in the AFL, it has been announced by Cookstown-based Keystone Group that Tyrone GAA ‘All Star’ Cathal McShane will remain in Northern Ireland having taken up a brilliant career opportunity within the Group’s Technical Specification Team.
Established over 30 years ago, the Keystone Group has become renowned for supplying high quality innovative products to the construction industry and has become the largest manufacturer of steel lintels in the UK and Ireland. Keystone Group also manufactures roof windows, masonry support, brick slip systems and roofing solutions.
Cathal will represent the Keystone Group across Ireland, promoting its innovative range of products to architects, specifiers and builders’ merchants.
Discussing the impact Cathal’s addition to the Keystone team will make, Keystone Chairman Sean Coyle said, “We are delighted to welcome Cathal to our team. Over the last 30 years, the Keystone Group has been providing career opportunities to the local community with over 1,600 employees worldwide.”
“Within GAA circles and across Ireland, Cathal is recognised as one of the best Gaelic footballers in the country. His commitment and attitude on and off the pitch will be a great asset to the Keystone Group.”
“Our people are key to our success. We recognize the potential in our employees and invest in our staff to provide them with excellent career opportunities, helping them to develop new skills. I believe Cathal will be as great of an ambassador for Keystone as he is for Tyrone GAA.”
Speaking after the announcement, Cathal said “It was a great privilege to be offered a trial with the Adelaide Crows. I thoroughly enjoyed trying out but it just wasn’t for me at this time. A major part of my decision to remain in Tyrone was influenced by the career opportunities offered by the Keystone Group and its Chairman, Sean Coyle.”
“Keystone is a market leading, international company and its expansion has meant that there are opportunities for me to enhance my professional development alongside my passion which is playing football for Tyrone. I am very much looking forward to being part of the Keystone team.”
