Shane O’Donnell is set to retire from club hurling at the end of this season.

The 2024 hurler of the year brought the curtain down on his inter-county career after Clare’s loss to Limerick in the All-Ireland semi-finals in July.

O’Donnell announced that this year will be his last with �ire �g Ennis following their quarter-final victory this weekend – and he says he’ll “enjoy” and “embrace” the last few games before retirement.

The St Loman’s forward came out retirement to be part of their Leinster Football Championship success, and he’s set to follow manager Mark McHugh in committing to another season in 2027.
