Kilkenny goalkeeper David Herity has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling.

A member of the Cats' panel since 2008, the Dunnamaggin stopper won five All Ireland medals.

Most recently, he was as an unused sub in September's replay defeat of Tipperary.

Herity turned 31 in April.

He is the second Cats star to bow out within a week, following the retirement of Tommy Walsh.
