Horan latest of ‘golden generation’ to call time

Marcus Horan joined the growing list of ‘golden generation’ Ireland players to call time on their career.

The Munster prop was last night the recipient of plaudits from various quarters, amongst them from Munster team manager Niall O’Donovan and former playing colleague Peter Stringer, now playing in Bath.

The decision to retire brings the curtain down on a professional career stretching back 14 years and one that has seen Horan become Munster’s most capped forward with 224 appearances. He also won 67 senior international caps.
