Jody Gormley: Former Tyrone player’s club Trillick ‘devastated’ by his death

Jody Gormley’s club Trillick St Macartan’s have said they are “devastated” following the death of the former Tyrone player.

The 53-year-old died on Monday evening three months after being diagnosed with terminal liver cancer.

The Trillick man, whose managerial career included taking charge of Antrim, returned to his native club to guide them to last year’s Tyrone Senior Football title.

His Trillick side also reached this season’s county final and he informed his players of his cancer diagnosis immediately following their narrow defeat by Errigal Ciaran in the decider.

“Jody was one of a kind and when returned to Trillick brought an aurora with him like no other,” said a statement on Trillick’s Facebook page.

“Words cannot describe the heartache our club is feeling right now. Jody was a true red from a young age, playing from underage to senior level. To then managing our senior team to an historical double in 2023.”
