Mark McHugh has reportedly quit the Donegal senior panel on the cusp of this year's Championship.

The 2012 All Star is one of four players who are understood to have walked out of Jim McGuinness's panel in the wake of last Sunday's Division Two league final loss to Monaghan.

McHugh started as a sub at Croke Park but has refused to comment on the reports of his departure as yet.

Thomas McKinley, Gary McFadden and Anton McFadden are understood to be the other players who have left the panel ahead of the county's Ulster Championship opener against Derry on May 25th.
