Dublin star Noelle Healy has announced her retirement from inter-county football.

The St Brigid’s attacker made her inter-county debut in 2007 at the age of 17 having tasted All-Ireland success at U14, U16 and minor level with her county.

Healy was part of the Dublin side which captured the All-Ireland senior championship title in 2010 and would continue to play an integral part for the capital women over the next decade as they claimed a four-in-a-row success between 2017 and 2020.

2019 also saw the four-time All-Star add an All-Ireland club senior championship medal to her collection after playing with Mourneabbey for a season, having relocated to Cork for her work as an anaesthetist.

“Its been beyond a dream to have represented Dublin at all age groups for the last 17 years, in both successes and failures,” she said in a statement.

“Thank you to all the management teams I’ve had the honour of learning from and the teammates I’ve had the pleasure of playing with. I’m lucky that many of them I’m able to call great friends too.

“My very best wishes to the squad in coming seasons, no doubt they will continue to go from strength to strength!”
