Tipperary senior hurler and Borris-Ileigh clubman Dan McCormack has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling.
The 31-year-old won All-Ireland senior medals in 2016 and 2019.
"After careful consideration and reflection I have decided that now is the right time for me to announce my retirement from inter county hurling with the Tipperary senior hurling team," he says in a statement.
"Since joining the panel in 2015 it has been a huge honour to represent Tipperary and I will always cherish the time I got to wear the blue and gold at the highest possible level.
"Firstly and most importantly I want to sincerely thank my wife Edwina and family, especially my parents John and Patricia for their continuous encouragement and support throughout my inter-county career. I will forever be indebted to my club Borris-Ileigh who played a crucial role in my career from a young age. I look forward to giving back as much as I can in the coming years.
"I'd like to thank the Principal and my fellow staff members of St Joseph's College, Borrisoleigh, who facilitated me in any way they could during my time playing with Tipperary.
"I also want to thank all the managers and backroom teams who helped me along this journey and were very supportive of me, as well as the Tipperary County Board and Tipperary Supporters Club. Thanks also to the Tipperary supporters who I have always been so proud to represent.
"I would like to thank all the players I played with and I feel unbelievably lucky to have shared a dressing-room with some of the best Tipperary have ever produced. More importantly, I have made lifelong friendships and shared fantastic memories along the way.
"Finally, I wish Tipperary all the very best for 2025. I have no doubt that the players and management will give their all to bring success back to Tipperary over the next number of years and I look forward to supporting them along the journey".
Tipperary GAA has thank Dan for his commitment throughout the course of his inter-county career and for the positive impact he has had on all those around him during that time.
"Dan proved to be an integral part of every panel he was a member of and the contribution he made on each occasion he put on a Tipperary jersey was immense. He has represented himself, his club and his county with distinction and we wish him the very best for his future endeavours".
