Limerick’s John Galvin has announced his retirement from inter-county football.
The Cratloe (formerly Croom) clubman played in five Munster finals during a 15-year career, and was widely rated as one of the best midfielders in the game.
He told the Limerick Post: “The time is right for me now I think. This has not been an easy decision, but I know that I have made the right call to move on.
“I’ll continue to play with Cratloe for the coming season.”
Former county colleague Eoin Barry tweeted his own tribute to Galvin today.
