Kilkenny have suffered another retirement blow with the news that Conor Fogarty has stepped away from the inter-county scene.

The 34-year-old Erin’s Own clubman follows Cillian Buckley and Walter Walsh into retirement after a successful 14-year senior career yielded four All-Ireland SHC medals, nine Leinster SHC titles and five Allianz Leagues. The midfielder first came to prominence as a member of the Cats’ 2008 All-Ireland MHC winning team.

“It has been a privilege to have worked alongside Conor whose contributions to Kilkenny hurling have been significant,” Kilkenny manager Derek Lyng said.

“His humble attitude demonstrated his strong work ethic and discipline, and he played a pivotal role in Kilkenny’s successes down through the years. Conor will be greatly missed and I wish him all the best as he enters retirement.”

Kilkenny GAA chairman PJ Kenny added: “On behalf of Kilkenny GAA, I would like to thank Conor for so many great years in the black and amber.

“Renowned for his skill, determination, and unwavering commitment to the sport, Conor represented Kilkenny and his club Erin’s Own with pride and led by example. Conor leaves us with many great memories and I wish him all the best for the future.”
