Paul Conroy says he has yet to decide on his inter-county future.

Still coming to terms with the disappointment of losing last month’s All-Ireland SFC final to Armagh, the 35-year-old midfielder will wait another few weeks before making his mind up.

"I haven't made any decision yet," he told the media after receiving the PwC GAA/GPA Footballer of the Month Award for July.

"It's still very raw over the last couple of weeks. I don’t think it would be the right time to decide anything in terms of going forward.

"I’ll make the decision over the next while. Apart from the last game, I really enjoyed everything about 2024. I was happy enough with my performances. I’ll think about it and sit on it for a few weeks.”

Conroy added: "Physically, I feel good and fit and looking forward to getting back into the club season again.

"I think it's the energy, mentally that you have to ask yourself in a couple of weeks’ time, when the lads are going back to pre-season do we have the drive there to go again?

"Simple as that. Sometimes, I can imagine players going back for themselves and they don’t have the energy to go back, there’s nothing left in the tank. So, you need to make sure that if you are going back that the drive is there.

"The last thing you want in the set-up is someone in there who only half wants to be there. I never want to be that player.

"Hopefully in a couple of weeks’ time, the mind will be a lot clearer."
