Former Wexford captain Matthew O’Hanlon has retired from intercounty hurling after 14-years service to the Model County.

The St James’ clubman made 70-championship appearances for his county, won a Leinster SHC in 2019 and was nominated for an All Star award on three occasions.

In a statement published by Wexford GAA O’Hanlon said: “It’s with great difficulty, but also with immense pride and gratitude, that I announce my retirement from inter-county hurling. It’s been a privilege to wear the purple and gold and one of the greatest honours of my life to have had the opportunity to lead this group. I’ve loved every minute of it and will cherish the friendships and memories I’ve made forever.

“I am incredibly grateful to all my teammates, managers, coaches, Wexford supporters, the County Board and all those behind the scenes who supported me and the team to be the best we could be over the years. Your hard work and dedication has been invaluable, thank you.

“I wish to extend a special word of thanks to my club, St. James’, who encouraged and supported me every step of the way.

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to my family and friends, especially my parents Anne and Luke, sisters Katie and Chloe, and partner Ciara for your unwavering loyalty and support.

“Finally, I’d like to wish Keith Rossitter and all of the team the very best of luck for the 2025 season and beyond. Loch Garman Abú!”
