Roscommon stalwart Niall Daly has announced his retirement from inter-county football.
Daly, 34, made his senior championship debut back in 2011 against Tyrone at Croke Park in an All-Ireland SFC qualifier.
A consistent and reliable defender, he made 149 appearances for the Rossies, scoring 2 goals and 52 points.
"A special word of thanks to my club, Pádraig Pearses, for everything they have done for me throughout the years," he said as he confirmed his decision to hang up his boots.
"Thank you to the supporters across the county for the incredible encouragement and backing you have given me during my time in a Roscommon jersey.
"I am also deeply grateful to my family for their constant support - my mam and dad, and especially my wife Martha, who has been by my side every step of the way. Of course, a special mention goes to my two biggest fans, Rory and Billy.
"I have been fortunate to play alongside some brilliant players over the years, and I now look forward to supporting the boys from the stands."
Roscommon GAA chairperson Brian Carroll paid tribute to Daly, adding: "On behalf of everyone in Roscommon GAA, I want to extend our deepest thanks to Niall for the remarkable dedication, loyalty, and passion he has shown throughout his time representing the county.
"He has played a key role in countless special moments on the field, and his influence extended far beyond match days. His presence will be genuinely missed by his teammates and supporters right across Roscommon."
