Paul Browne Retires from Inter-County Hurling

Limerick and Bruff hurler Paul Browne has signalled the end to his inter county career.

In a statement issued through Limerick GAA the All Ireland and Munster medal winner said:

I have decided that the time is right for me to step away form the Limerick Senior Hurling Panel after eleven seasons involved. 

I would like to thank my club Bruff Gaa, fellow club colleagues, coaches and mentors for their support. I hope to repay that support over the coming years. To the teachers and staff in Scoil Dean Cussen and FCJ Bruff I am extremely grateful for their encouragement in my younger years. 

I would like to thank my employers LIT who have been very accommodating since I commenced my employment there. 

Over the course of my playing career I went through several surgical procedures and I would like to thank the Limerick County Board and Senior Medical Team of Mark Van Drumpt, Mark Melbourne and Dr James Ryan for the care I received. 

I leave with nothing but wonderful memories and pride from my eleven years playing with Limerick. To have shared the dressing room with all my past team-mates and this incredible panel of players now has been the greatest honour of my life. 

I look forward to supporting the 2020 Panel and Management and I would urge all Limerick supporters to do so. There are fantastic times ahead.

I would like to thank my family and in particular my girlfriend Niamh for their unwavering support and sacrifice during my career.
