Tyrone's Pascal McConnell has announced his retirement from inter-county football.

After an impressive career that has spanned all three of Tyrone's All-Ireland titles and four Ulster championships, the goalkeeper has confirmed that he will not be part of the squad for next season.

McConnell also won a minor All Ireland in 1998 and back to back U21 titles in 2000 and 2001.

"There is a big commitment required in order to stay performing at the top level and I feel the time is right to bow out and start a new chapter in my life," he said.
