Donegal confirm their 2026 joint-captains and have a new face in team for Monaghan

Donegal have named their team to take on Monaghan in the last series of fixtures in the National Football League Division 1, with Sean Martin in from the off.

The MacCumhaill's clubman, who is named at wing-back and is in line for a first-ever league start, was captain of the Donegal U-20 team for the 2025 season, where they reached the Ulster final before losing to eventual all-Ireland champions Tyrone in extra-time.

Donegal have also named their joint-captains for the season, with Michael Langan and Shane O'Donnell the ones honoured.
