Carey not closing door on inter-county career

DJ CAREY has refuted reports that he has retired from inter-county hurling but the Kilkenny forward has yet to decide on whether to l return to Brian Cody’s squad this year.

Suggestions that the Young Irelands player had finally called time on a senior inter-county career that stretches back as far as 1990 arose when he referred to himself as a ‘non-player’ in a radio interview last weekend.

He was speaking about the GPA EGM in Portlaoise at the time in his capacity as the association’s president but he told the Kilkenny People newspaper this week that nothing has been decided in relation to his playing days with the county as of yet.
