Brian Roper has announced his retirement from the Donegal colours after 159 appearances for the men from the north-west. An Ulster U21FC winner in 1995, Roper has been one of the county's most dedicated players for over a decade. He featured in the county's Ulster final loss to Derry in 1998 and finally landed national honours when Donegal claimed the 2007 NFL Division 1 title. He was a regular feature in the side that reached an All-Ireland quarter-final against Cork earlier this year but at 35 years of age has decided to call time on his intercounty career. Tweet
