Mattie Donnelly is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for the Trillick club and the Tyrone county team.[1]
In 2015, he was a key part of a Tyrone teamed that reached the All-Ireland SFC semi-final, and was named in the All Stars team.[2]
Donnelly was named in the Ireland squad for the 2014 international rules test in Australia.[3][4]
Following the retirement of Seán Cavanagh in 2017, Donnelly was appointed Tyrone senior captain. Pádraig Hampsey succeeded Donnelly as captain in May 2021,[5][6] and it was Hampsey who became the third Tyrone captain to lift the Sam Maguire Cup, following Tyrone's victory over Mayo in the 2021 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.
