Talented forward Darren McCurry has been forced to opt out of the Tyrone senior football panel because of work commitments.

The Edendork clubman - who featured as a substitute in last Saturday's Division 1 win over Donegal - informed Mickey Harte of his decision on Monday.

"We have a lot of work in North Antrim at the moment and I was finding it difficult to train three or four nights a week," the two-time Ulster SFC medalist explained to teamtalkmag.com.

"That is the level of commitment that you have to give to county football and I feel that I'm not in the position to do that at the moment.

"I will concentrate with the club for the season ahead and I will review my situation after that."
