Galway's Paul Conroy has announced his retirement from senior inter-county football.

The accomplished 2024 PwC GAA/GPA Footballer of the Year revealed his decision on Instagram.

Conroy said: "Sin é. Privileged to have fulfilled a childhood dream to represent an amazing county for so many years. Grateful to all those who made this dream a reality."

St James' clubman Conroy made his Galway senior debut in 2008, a year after captaining the Tribesmen to All-Ireland MFC glory at Croke Park.

During his senior career, Conroy won seven Connacht SFC titles.
