Dublin's seven-time All-Ireland SFC winner John Small has announced his retirement from inter-county football.
The 32-year-old Ballymun Kickhams man was part of the Sky Blues panel for 11 trophy-laden seasons.
Small played his part in the Dubs' remarkable run of six Sam Maguires in a row between 2015 and 2020.
He has also claimed 10 Leinster SFC titles, four Allianz Football League titles and one All-Star in 2020.
"Representing the Dublin senior football team has been the greatest privilege of my life," said Small.
"It gave me memories and friendships that I'll carry with me forever. They truly were the best days of my life.
"I’ve been so lucky to have incredible people around me throughout this journey - my family, my partner Jade, my son Charlie, my friends, my club, Jim (Gavin) and Dessie (Farrell) along with their coaching teams, my team-mates, and the amazing Dublin supporters who have always stood behind us.
"But above everyone else, I want to acknowledge my Mam, Andrea, and my late Dad, Declan. They gave me the chance to live my dream and supported me every step of the way. I wouldn’t have achieved any of this without them.
"To (new manager) Ger Brennan and his management team, I wish you nothing but success in 2026. I’ll be watching on from the stands with pride.
"Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey. It’s meant everything to me. "
