Breaffy GAA is a long way from the Super Bowl.

How far exactly, well, we’re not sure, but a former Miami Dolphins wide receiver is about to find out, as he has been announced as the final man taking part in this year’s AIB Toughest Trade documentary.

Last month we discovered that Aidan O’Shea will be tackling life as an American football player for this year’s TV show.

26 January 2016; Aidan O’Shea is pictured ahead of AIB’s ‘The Toughest Trade’ as the Mayo man temporarily hangs up his Breaffy jersey to swap Gaelic football for American football. ‘The Toughest Trade’ is an AIB commissioned documentary as part of the #TheToughest campaign.

And now we know who’ll be taking his place at Breaffy this week, as Roberto Wallace has been confirmed as the final person to compete in this year’s sporting trades.

The former San Diego State player was signed by the Miami Dolphins in 2010 as a free agent, and spent two years in Florida before being released in August of 2012.

Wallace looks like he has already been training with Breaffy and we can’t wait to see how the 6ft 4in American finds life in the Mayo club.

Tipperary hurler Brendan Maher has already completed his stint with The Strikers, one of the leading sides in cricket’s Big Bash League in Australia, while former England cricketer Stephen Harmison has been training with Borris-Ileigh.
