Tipperary forward John O’Dwyer has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling.
O’Dwyer, who won All-Irelands with the county in 2016 and ‘19, when he was among the goals against Kilkenny in both finals, last featured for the county in the 2021 All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to Waterford and so the news doesn’t particularly come as a shock.
The 31-year-old suffered an ankle injury in 2021 and only returned to county training briefly last year having not featured in the Allianz League before then manager Colm Bonnar confirmed that he would not be featuring as “the injury left him too much of a gap to reach in time for Championship”.
