Tipperary are on the look out for a new physical trainer after the highly rated Cian O'Neill stood down from his role with the county's senior hurlers.

The Kildare native has been with the Premier County since Liam Sheedy took over in 2008 and he continued this season under the new manager Declan Ryan.

O'Neill also had a spell as Limerick senior football trainer and is the Course Director for the BSc in Physical Education at University of Limerick.

A statement from the Tipperary county board said: "It has been mutually agreed by Declan Ryan, Tipperary senior hurling manager, and Dr. Cian O'Neill that Cian will step down as physical trainer of the Tipperary senior hurling team. After four extremely successful years as trainer with Tipperary, Cian wishes to pursue new challenges.

"Declan Ryan, his management team, and Tipperary County Board wish to thank Cian for his outstanding service to our senior squads over the past four years and wish him well in the future.

"Cian made a very significant contribution to the Tipperary senior hurlers over those years and played a very important part in the team's successes since 2008, including our 2010 All Ireland victory, three Munster senior hurling titles and one National League title." Tweet
