Lee Brennan has quit the Tyrone squad, citing a lack of game time as his reason for stepping away from the Red Hand set-up.

The 23-year-old made the decision just days before this weekend’s Ulster SFC quarter-final against Antrim.

The Trillick man is the second forward to leave the squad in recent weeks, with Ronan O’Neill also having left due to a lack of opportunity.

Brennan lined out for his club at the weekend, following his decision to call a halt to his inter-county career.

He made just two NFL appearances this year, one as a sub, and did not feature in the Ulster Championship preliminary round win over Derry.

He was one of the stand-out stars of Tyrone’s All-Ireland Under-21 Championship triumph in 2015.
