gaunt-looking Brian Dooher, who has five Ulster medals and three All-Ireland gongs. </p><!-- E SF --><p>The 33-year-old Tyrone captain is soldiering on for another year even though he won't be playing for at least another two months following his groin surgery before Christmas. </p><p>Judging by Bradley's words, he doesn't expect to still playing intercounty football by the time he reaches his 34th year. </p><p>"I'm in my 10th or 11th season now. I've been playing since I was 17 or 18. It's hard to believe. It's been so long but we still haven't won an Ulster title." </p><p>Bradley says he "feeling refreshed" after returning within the last 10 days from a 15-week break in Australia. </p><p>It was a trip of lifetime for the 2007 All Star as he travelled throughout Down Under with his Derry and Glenullin team-mate Gerard O'Kane and a couple of other lads from his club. </p><p>"After the International Rules tour, I stayed with Tadgh Kennelly for a couple of weeks in Sydney and then the four boys from the club came out and met me. </p><p>"We were in Sydney, Melbourne...travelled all around.

We didn't do anything too strenuous but kept things ticking over. </p><p>"We really enjoyed ourselves too.
