Irish kicker Mark McNamee has signed with the Green Bay Packers after coming through the NFL's International Player Pathway programme.
McNamee, who previously played as a goalkeeper in Gaelic football for Ballyboden St Endas, recently spent time with the BC Lions in the Canadian Football League in the wake of the IPP programme.
He was subsequently released and on Tuesday signed with the Packers as their back-up kicker following the departure of Australian Alex Hales.
The 25-year-old will occupy the international player spot on the Packers' 91-player offseason roster, with a chance to showcase his skills during training camp.
