Finnbarr Roarty

Irish Gaelic footballer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Finnbarr Roarty is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for the Donegal county team.[1] He is a former Minor and Under-20 captain of Donegal.[2] He made his Senior inter-county debut against Armagh a short while before he turned 18. It was reported at the time that he was Donegal's first Senior inter-county player who had yet to make his Senior debut for his club.[3] His premature debut led to two-week suspension for Roarty and an eight-week suspension for manager Jim McGuinness with the McGuinness suspension later overturned because McGuinness was not involved in picking the team.[4] Roarty played in his first National League match for Donegal in 2025 at MacCumhaill Park against Dublin as a corner-back.[5][6] He played in his first SFC match for Donegal on 6 April 2025 against Derry.[7] He won the Man of the Match award in the All Ireland semi-final victory over Meath.[8][9] His impact on the team was praised by Conor McManus and Michael Murphy.[10][11][12]
