Paul Kerrigan has retired from inter-county football.

The All-Ireland winner, who made his debut in 2008, featured in this year's win over Kerry for Ronan McCarthy's side but was an unused substitute in the Munster final defeat.

This morning he confirmed his retirement from the inter-county game.

Cork GAA would like to wish all the best to 2010 All-Ireland winner Paul Kerrigan & his family on the announcement of his retirement from Inter county football. Making his senior debut in 2008 Paul gave great service to Cork GAA. He also won an All-Ireland Under 21 medal in 2007. pic.twitter.com/VYEHvgq49j

It leaves Ciaran Sheehan as the only survivor from the 2010 All-Ireland winning team in the Cork squad.

In a statement released by Nemo Rangers, Kerrigan said it had been a "huge privilege" to play for and captain Cork.
