As well as Tommy Walsh and David Herity, Brian Cody will have to plan without the services of Brian Hogan and Aidan Fogarty in 2015.
The experienced duo have both announced their intention to quit the inter-county scene this morning.
33 year old Hogan joined the Cats panel in 2004 and has seven All-Ireland senior medals to his name.
Fogarty's medal collection includes eight Celtic crosses and he has been an regular on Brian Cody's squad since 2003.
