Tribe’s talisman Joyce calls time on county career

Galway’s longest serving player Padraic Joyce has decided to retire after 15 years of top-flight football.

Joyce (35) won nearly every major honour in the game but has now decided to call it a day after a glittering career.

Most of his inter-county success came in the early years of his career but he continued to soldier on in the last few seasons, despite a series of heartbreaking narrow defeats and Galway’s propensity to frequently change their manager.
