Donegal selector Colm McFadden insists few people were more saddened than him when Michael Murphy retired from inter-county football in November 2022.

The former captain has returned to the fold this year and his 2012 All-Ireland SFC winning team-mate McFadden couldn’t be happier as they take on Derry in Sunday’s Ulster preliminary round game in Ballybofey.
