Tyrone footballer Conor Gormley has announced his retirement from inter-county football.

The 34-year-old won multiple All-Irelands and five Ulster titles since he first lined out for Tyrone in 2000, winning his first Ulster title in his debut season.

He won three All-Irelands with the county - in 2003, 2005 and 2008 - and in each of those years also won an All-Star.
