Limerick's Graeme Mulcahy has retired from inter-county hurling.

During a glittering career with Limerick, Mulcahy won five All-Ireland senior titles and seven Munster SHC medals.

Mulcahy confirmed his departure in a statement released by Limerick GAA. "After 16 seasons, I have decided that the time is right for me to announce my retirement from inter-county hurling," Mulcahy says.

"To have been entrusted to represent Limerick by the numerous management teams and sharing the dressing room with all my past and current team-mates has been a great honour. I leave with fantastic memories, lifelong friends and an immense pride in what we have achieved.

"The highlight of my playing career was undoubtedly being apart of the team that ended the 45 years wait to bring the Liam McCarthy Cup back to Limerick.

"Coming back to the county with the Cup is something I will treasure forever. I will always be very grateful to John (Kiely) and his management team for allowing me to play a part in that."
