Former Cork forward Luke Connolly has been forced to hang up his boots at just 31.

The Echo is reporting that the Nemo Rangers clubman cannot continue playing due to a persistent knee problem. Connolly won five Cork SFC medals and two Munster Club SFC medals during his 12-year senior career, captaining Nemo in 2022 when his eight-point haul helped them to a 1-16 to 2-9 victory over city rivals St Finbarr’s in th county final.

A Sigerson Cup winner with UCC, Connolly represented Cork at all levels, winning a Munster MFC medal in 2010, two Munster U21 medals in 2012 and ’13, and a Division 3 League in 2020.
