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.”
