Sean Cavanagh has confirmed that he will continue to line out for Tyrone next year.

Speculation has surrounded the 32-year-old's inter-county future since the Red Hands' All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Kerry, but the former Footballer of the Year says he's ready to play on for a 14th season.

"If injuries hold up, and the body holds up through the winter, and if I get the blessing from my wife Fionnuala, I'll certainly look forward to committing in 2016," he is quoted in the Irish Times.

"I have got to the stage where you review it every year, but at the same time my hunger certainly hasn't diminished."

The three-time All-Ireland winner is convinced he can achieve further success with Tyrone before his inter-county days end.

"You get the feeling within the squad at the moment that there is success to be had, and that helps drive you on," the captain continued.

"It wasn't a very hard team to lead at times, because guys that were 19, 20, 21 were driving the thing on, and whenever that happens it galvanises everyone, and it certainly has put us in a good position."
