Murphy calls time on glittering Rebel career

Nicholas Murphy has informed the Cork senior football management that he is unavailable for selection, ending an inter-county career going back to 1997.

The towering Carrigaline clubman, a fixture in the Rebel midfield for many years, was used as an impact substitute in the full-forward line in recent seasons

Murphy, who collected an All-Ireland SFC medal in 2010, made his senior debut in 1997 against Tipperary in the National Football League and his championship debut came the following year against Kerry.
