Former Armagh GAA star Ronan Clarke’s condition has improved following a freak accident on Friday night.
Clarke is in hospital in Belfast after he collided with a goalpost in a club game on Friday night but the news today is that he’s been taken out of intensive care.
The player’s family revealed that Ronan was woken up from a medically-induced coma and has spoken a few words.
Armagh GAA released a statement on Facebook on Tuesday night that said there had been “an improvement in his condition”.
“He’s still not out of the woods and continues to need your prayers, but he has taken a small step in the right direction.”
“His family have been made aware of the thousands of people, not only from Armagh and indeed Ireland, but from right across the world that have sent messages of support and best wishes.
“To everyone that has taken the time to send those, his family are eternally grateful.”
The 32-year-old sustained the serious head injury after colliding with a goalpost while playing with his club Pearse Og and Maghery on Friday night.
