O'Rourke has confirmed that fellow Tyrone veteran Mattie Donnelly will be available in 2026 and the experience of the Trillick clubman will be vital given the number of established players who are currently absent from the panel.

Former Footballer of the Year Kieran McGeary will miss the first half of the season as he is travelling, while star forward Darragh Canavan is sidelined until February, at the earliest, after ankle surgery.
