Cork star Séamus Harnedy has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling, ending a distinguished 15-year career in the red jersey.
The St Ita's clubman became a cornerstone of the Cork attack since 2013, though he made his debut in the jersey two years earlier in the Waterford Crystal Cup.
In 2013, he started both the All-Ireland final and replay as Cork were pipped by Clare, ending the year with his first All-Star award.
