Donal Óg Cusack has confirmed that he will be stepping down from his role as a pundit on RTÉ's The Sunday Game after becoming Clare's new hurling coach.

The former Cork All-Ireland winning goalkeeper will also retire from club hurling and stand down as GPA chairman at the end of the year.

"Ahead of assuming my coaching position in Clare, I have met with RTÉ and following mutual agreement I have been released from my contract. I would like to sincerely thank RTÉ for the experience they have given me," he said.

"I will be seeing out my term as chairperson of the GPA which will come to an end this year. 

"I have also spoken with my local club, Cloyne to confirm my decision to retire from club hurling. I would like to thank the club for the support it has shown me throughout my career."
