Injury forces former international Fahey to retire

Shamrock Rovers midfieder Keith Fahey has been forced to retire from professional football after succumbing to injury.

The 32-year-old former Ireland international picked up knee and hip injuries in May which required surgery and Fahey has been unable to return to fitness.

“Unfortunately I have had to come to this decision after taking advice from the doctor and surgeon, I feel that it is the right time to finish playing professional football,” said the Dubliner.
