The 2010 All Star attacker made his senior debut for Down in 1999 and toyed with the idea of retirement last winter. But the 32-year-old is making himself available to the Mourne County again next season:
"I might hang around for another year," the Mayobridge ace tells The Irish News. "Last year I thought about retiring because I hadn't a great season.
"This year I've felt good. I came on twice against Tyrone and made an impact and I thought I did well against Leitrim. And the same against Kildare on Sunday.
"At the start of the season I thought 100% that this would be my last year. That changed come the championship. I was really enjoying the buzz. Against Tyrone, I felt fresh and I felt good.
"If I thought I wasn't cutting it I would hold my hands up and say 'that's it, I'm done'. Mickey Linden keeps on my case that he doesn't want to hear me talking about retirement...
"But I'm a bit optimistic about next year. That's if they want me there. I definitely think I'll give it another year." Tweet
