Four-time All-Ireland winner Conor Fogarty has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling after an illustrious 14-year career with Kilkenny.
Fogarty joined the Cats senior panel in 2011 aged 20 and over the years established himself as a key player in the squad.
The 34-year-old won nine Leinster titles and five league medals, as well as lifting Liam MacCarthy on four occasions.
Kilkenny manager Derek Lyng thanked Fogarty for his service to Kilkenny: "It has been a privilege to have worked alongside Conor whose contributions to Kilkenny hurling have been significant.
"His humble attitude demonstrated his strong work ethic and discipline, and he played a pivotal role in Kilkenny's successes down through the years.
"Conor will be greatly missed and I wish him all the best as he enters retirement."
Kilkenny county board chairman said Fogarty left a big mark as a Cats player: "On behalf of Kilkenny GAA, I would like to thank Conor for so many great years in the black and amber.
"Renowned for his skill, determination, and unwavering commitment to the sport, Conor represented Kilkenny and his club Erin’s Own with pride and led by example.
"Conor leaves us with many great memories and I wish him all the best for the future."
