All-Ireland winner and Tyrone legend Owen Mulligan could line out for the London senior side in the Connacht championship next month. 

He became eligible to play after his appearance in a club hurling game for Fulham Irish on Sunday. 

Mulligan came on as a late substitute for the club's hurling team, in the London intermediate championship. 

They ended up losing to Granuaile, 2-7 to 10 points.

By playing a club game first, he's met the requirement needed to play for London's senior panel in Championship football. 

London will take on Leitrim on the 28th of May in the Connacht quart-final in Ruislip. 

If 35 year old Mulligan lines out on the squad, he'll provide major experience due to his long career playing GAA football. 

He has achieved many titles at club level and was part of Mickey Harte's Tyrone squad that won All-Ireland titles in 2003, 2005 and 2008.
