David Clarke is undecided about his Mayo future.

The Ballina Stephenites goalkeeper, who won his first All Star on Friday night despite being sensationally dropped for the All-Ireland final replay, admitted to the Western People that he is contemplating retirement after 15 years in the green and red.

"I don't know yet. I'll probably have to talk to the management. I'd probably have to see can I sort something at work," said the Tubbercurry-based garda, who is Mayo's first All Star goalkeeper since Gabriel Irwin was honoured in 1989.

"When you're 33, you're working shifts, you're up early on your days off minding a young child, it's a difficult choice."

Veteran forward Andy Moran has already confirmed his intention to play on in 2017.
