Derry star Chrissy McKaigue said it was “an honour” to be named on the 2022 Football All Stars team.

McKaigue and team mate Conor Glass were Derry’s two winners on the selection of, with All-Ireland champions Kerry leading the way with seven and runners-up Galway with five and Dublin claiming one.

Speaking to BBC Sport NI, McKaigue spoke of his delight with the awards for him and his fellow Ulster SFC winner Glass.

"It's always an honour to be recognised by the GAA All Stars committee," said McKaigue.

"But if it were not for the 25 or 30 men who've been so prominent helping Derry win this year's Ulster Championship, I wouldn't be picking up this award.

"I'm personally delighted for my inter-county team-mate Conor Glass who has been so instrumental in Derry's on-field resurgence since returning from Australia," he added.

"That both of us have received awards is also in no small part a reflection on Rory Gallagher and the Oak Leaf management team."
