Ruairí Deane will continue with the Cork footballers in 2026, contrary to reports that he was set to call time on his inter-county career.

The 34-year-old Bantry Blues clubman has been around the Cork scene since 2014, save for the 2022 campaign when deemed surplus to requirements during the brief tenure of Keith Ricken.
