Legendary Dublin GAA player Jonny Cooper has retired as he issued an emotional statement on social media.
The corner back who has seven all-Ireland medals and ten Leinster titles under his belt said the time was right for him to step away from the game. The 33-yearo-old suffered a foot injury in 2019 which made it difficult for him to return to the top of his game.
He wrote on social media: "Going to Hill 16 from hip height with my mother had me completely hooked. I have had the immense honour and pleasure to play on the Dublin Senior Football Team for 11 years.
