James McCarthy has played his last game for Dublin after the multiple All-Ireland winner confirmed his intercounty retirement.

As well as nine Celtic Crosses, the Ballymun Kickhams clubman won 14 Leinster SFC titles, six national football leagues and five All Stars in a glittering 15-year county career.

"I have decided to retire from representing Dublin GAA at inter-county level," he said.

"This decision hasn't been an easy one to make but I feel it's the right time.

"I have been very fortunate to be involved in a golden period for Dublin GAA and I have played with the most incredible group of players.

"It really has been some of the best days of my life and I have memories to last a lifetime.

"The loyalty and friendship we have built is something I will always be thankful for."
