Derry captain Paddy Bradley will make his 50th championship appearance in next month's Ulster SFC quarter-final against Donegal.

The Glenullin sharpshooter, who made his debut in 2000, had not missed a championship match through injury until last year when he was sidelined with a torn cruciate ligament. He becomes only the third Derry player to reach the milestone, following in the footsteps of fellow All Stars Sean Martin Lockhart and Enda Muldoon, who announced his retirement earlier this year.

Only last weekend, Bradley's Donegal counterpart Rory Kavanagh made his 100th appearance for the Tir Chonaill men in their Ulster SFC preliminary round victory over Cavan. Tweet
