Allstar Browne considers his future with Tipperary

THERE is increasing speculation that Tipperary football Allstar Declan Browne's career with the county may be in jeopardy.

Browne, who is in hospital receiving treatment for a knee injury, is understood to be considering his future with the county in the wake of the catastrophic resignation of team manager Andy Shortall and the subsequent refusal of the Tipp panel to play in this weekend's qualifier against Fermanagh.

A prominent Tipperary GAA official was yesterday quoted as saying: "If I was Declan Browne, I'd strongly consider my future with the county."
