DENIS HURLEY HAS called time on his playing days at Munster.
The 31-year-old back took to Instagram last night to share the news, alongside a photo of himself and his daughter in Thomond Park.
Born in Cork, Hurley made his debut with the provincial side in 2006 and featured in their Heineken Cup winning team of 2008. He made 166 appearances in total for the province.
Hurley hadn’t lined out for Munster since January due to a calf muscle injury.
“One last walk out,” Hurley wrote. “All the memories this pitch has given us over the years and it culminated in a quiet moment for us to savour as a family.”
“Happy to have played out my dreams here but now a new challenge awaits and we’re excited about what may lie ahead.
“Thanks for all the support over the years.”

So sad to see… one of the worlds most iconic designs.. Commercialism really has taking the soul of out the game..
Barcacroatia?
@Scott Mcsauce bby: Croatialona !
@Limón Madrugada: my thoughts exactly
Iconic design ? Stripes ? They’ve been changing their jersey for ages , some years they were beyond recognition . I actually think this is a nice twist to a jersey thats almost instantly recognisable . But it’s hardly daring . Daring would have FCB wear a nearly all white jersey ..

Have a look at this and you’ll see it’s not such a radical change .
@Limón Madrugada: Sorry man. You’re right. I was completely out of order thinking it was iconic. I’ll need to do more research before I comment here in the future. Egg on my face.
@John Carroll: nah man you’re entitled to your opinion just as I am ,
@Limón Madrugada: nice link there Limón…very interesting…
@Desmond Cassidy: Limón is always dropping knowledge.
@Limón Madrugada:
So it’s always been stripes.
Liverpool and Man City wearing stripes next year.
Celtic going for the Croatia look?
Kilkenny going for hoops
@Seamus McSpud: i guess you’ll stick to the spuds
Bit late with this. It’s been on show for weeks. Must be a slow day
Laughing stock AGAIN!
@Bryn Capstan: like Ramos getting booked on purpose & telling the world about. Then gets a suspension for it
