JUST days after Brendan Bugler called time on his Clare career, fellow All-Ireland winner Colin Ryan has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling.

The Newmarket on Fergus man will forever be remembered for his precision from the dead ball but also made a huge contribution from open play during his peak in the saffron and blue.

The half-forward who made history as the highest scorer in Championship in 2013 confirmed the news this morning.

Colin Ryan’s tweet

“After a year out n a new addition, it’s time to call it a day, been an honour to wear the jersey,maybe this little man is the future#clarabu”

Ryan, who recently turned his focus on soccer, confirmed in January 2017 that he was taking an extended break from inter-county hurling and would miss the 2017 Season and this confirms the end of his reign in the Clare jersey.
