Sean Cavanagh won't be rushed into making a decision about his inter-county future, stressing how he is not in the right frame of mind following his controversial dismissal in last Sunday's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final loss to Mayo.

Speculation has surrounded the Tyrone's captain's future intentions ever since the game and he is set to keep fans guessing for another few weeks at least.

"At this stage, there's that many different factors that come into it, that I'm definitely not in the mind-frame to make any rash decisions at this stage. I don't think it needs to be made right now," he told the Irish News.

"I'm long enough about to know that you shouldn't do that so, look, it will be a case of playing a bit of club football for the next few weeks and seeing how the body holds up, and seeing how the winter goes, to a certain extent.

"My wife has been convinced that this was definitely my last year playing football. I had promised myself and I had promised everyone that 2016 would be my last year but, by the same token, I was fully expecting to be in an All-Ireland semi-final and possibly an All-Ireland final.

"So whenever these things don't work out as you've planned, you do have to re-think these things, so that's exactly what I'll be doing."
