Michael Murphy has made a sensational return to the Donegal senior football panel, two years after announcing his intercounty retirement.
Donegal’s 2012 All-Ireland winning captain retired in November 2022, but the 35-year-old has been coaxed back to the set-up by manager Jim McGuinness.
Murphy has continued playing with his club Glenswilly and is believed to have been working on a programme with the Donegal back room and physio teams.
He has been a member of the Football Review Committee in recent months but will step away from the boardroom and back to the dressingroom for the 2025 season.
