Laois midfielder Kevin Meaney has brought the curtain down on his 11-year inter-county career.

A Leinster U21 medallist in 2006, the Arles-Kilcruise clubman was brought onto the senior panel by Liam Kearns the following year, but had to wait until 2008 to make his championship debut when he lined out alongside John O'Loughlin at midfield in a Leinster SFC quarter-final victory over Wicklow.

He captained the O'Moore County when they gave Dublin a scare in the 2012 All-Ireland SFC quarter-final and had the distinction of lining out in defence, midfield and attack in the championship.

"I'm working a good bit in Scotland now with MW Hire and to be honest I just haven't been able to give the time to it in recent years," Meaney said in an interview with Laois Today.

"I wish John (Sugrue) the best of luck and it is not because he or his management team is in place that I have decided to retire. He did text me last year and I told him I was caught up with work and I just hadn't the time.

"But look I'm 32 now and I'll be 33 in the summer. So the time is up, I've run out of road."
