Legendary hurler, Patrick Horgan, has given his thoughts on Seán Fitzgerald's Love Island venture.

While "Hoggie" is no longer part of the senior hurling set-up at Cork, the forward has remained at the centre of the GAA discourse with his transition into punditry.

The Glen Rovers man has taken it all in his stride with regular appearances now on RTE's live match coverage and The Sunday Game.

Horgan has made the transition look natural for someone who was only playing in an All-Ireland final months prior to his inclusion in media.

This has given him quite an advantage with his modern insight of the game leading to strong analysis.

On his new role, Horgan said: "I wouldn't have watched games before, I wouldn't have watched hurling. Now I'm looking forward to watching it.

"Saturday I'm looking forward to the Leinster final and Sunday obviously I'll be glued to Cork and Limerick."

Seán Fitzgerald Love Island

Galway footballer, Seán Fitzgerald, recently stepped away from the inter-county team to pursue a unique Love Island opportunity last month.

And the 23-year-old footballer has already made a huge impression on the show, pairing up with fellow islander Lola during the first episode.

Although having to deal with a wide variety of Irish stereotypes and impressions, Fitzgerald has seemingly adapted to the islands demands.

Like the majority of the GAA community, Horgan has tuned in to see how "Fitzy" gets on.

He said: "I'm watching it there. He was lucky last night he wasn't back playing championship next week! There was a bit of a surprise."

"He got an opportunity to go and he did the right thing obviously.
