Armagh star McKeever announces retirement
Veteran Armagh centre-back Ciaran McKeever has announced his retirement from inter-county football.
McKeever won four Ulster championships, a NHL title in 2005, and represented Ireland three times in the International Rules series during his 14-year inter-county career.
The 34-year-old has struggled with injury in recent years, but played the last 15 minutes of Armagh's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Tyrone at Croke Park earlier this month.
"It was always my dream to represent Armagh growing up so it's with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from inter-county football today," said the St Patrick's Cullyhanna clubman.
"It has been a great honour to have been part of the Armagh squad from 2003-2017, as captain for six of those years, and this is not a decision I have arrived at lightly.
"Having met with Kieran McGeeney at the end of 2016 after undergoing two operations, I was unsure of my inter-county future but we decided to try and get the body right for one more year and I believe the time is now right to call it a day."
