Dublin GAA have confirmed that three-time All-Star forward Paul Mannion is taking a break from inter-county football.
There had been multiple reports suggesting that the 27-year-old would not be involved in the All-Ireland champions’ plans in 2021, with the county board today with the following statement.
“Dublin GAA would like to confirm that Paul Mannion is stepping away from the Dublin Senior Football panel for now.
We would like to thank Paul for all the time and commitment he gave to Dublin GAA at all grades and we wish him well as he concentrates on developing his career outside of inter-county football.”
In recent weeks both Peader Andrews and Michael Darragh Macauley have retired from inter-county football.
