Paul Kerrigan says he has been fortunate to play with some of Cork’s best ever footballers during his 13-year playing career with the Rebels.
The 2010 All-Ireland winner announced his retirement from inter-county football yesterday morning and thanked “fantastic” people he worked with, stating that he will treasure the friendships he’s made throughout his playing career with the Leesiders.
In a statement released gaacork.ie yesterday, the Nemo Rangers clubman wrote:
“Today I am announcing my retirement from inter county football. I consider it a huge privilege to have represented and captained Cork. It is something I’ve never taken for granted.
“I’ve been lucky enough to meet and work with some fantastic people and will treasure the friendships I’ve made.
“I’d like to thank the four managers and their back room teams I’ve played under for having faith in me and giving me the opportunity to live out my dream.
“I would also like to thank the Cork County Board and my club Nemo Rangers for their support.
“I’ve been fortunate to play with some of Corks best ever footballers and achieve the ultimate goal of winning Sam Maguire.
“I look forward to watching this current team in the years to come, who i firmly believe can also achieve great things.
“I’d like to thank my family and wife for their constant support down through the years. I look forward to continuing with my club Nemo Rangers with whom I hope to enjoy further success.”
