Retirements

[Cunny Funt]

Brendan Harrison Mayo officially retired. He hadn't played for a couple years?

yeah he was completely dogged with injuries. Was a great defender on his day, won an all star i'm near sure?

Yes won All Star in 2016. His last appearance for Mayo was round 7 in NFL 2022 against Kildare.

In other news Michael Murphy ended speculation that he would be coming out of retirement.


"That was it, I was out. Just because Jim has come back, as much as there's a loyalty there from me to him, and from me to Donegal, it still doesn't change in terms of the playing point of view.

"Definitely it was never a case of ever going back and that's still the case now. I'll try to give to Donegal in another way. I'm heavily involved with my own club and I'll get back involved with Donegal at underage now and give back in that way. No playing for me, it's job done, 100 per cent."

David Tubridy, Sean Collins,Gordon Kelly and Kevin Harnett went last year and Gary Brennan and Aaron Fitzgerald(went to hurlers) the year before that. A massive turnover of players

Will struggle to stay in D3 with so many experienced players gone.

Third favorites for promotion with Paddy Power but can't see happening with so many leaders gone. A lot of good young players coming through but need experience around them.

A shame for Clare who for a number of years more than held their own in Division 2. Of that list a lot of retirements and great service those players gave. Losing Colm Collins as manager probably the biggest lost as he able to retain players with no big turnovers in his time there once he made Clare into top 16 team

That's what Eoin Cleary said in an interview before Xmas. That he probably would have finished up a couple of years ago , only for Collins. Given that he isn't 30 yet - it shows how demanding it is.
