Daniel Flynn announces retirement from intercounty football

Daniel Flynn announced his retirement this morning from intercounty football. The 31 year old from Johnstownbridge has been a part of the Lilywhites panel since 2012, and has been nominated for three all-stars. Kildare GAA released a statement this morning wishing him the best. 

"On behalf of Kildare GAA, we wish to sincerely thank Daniel Flynn for his outstanding service to Kildare GAA following his decision to step down from Inter County Football.

Daniel has been an integral part of the Kildare panel since 2012. He has been one of Kildare’s Star players for over a decade. It is fair to say that Daniel has been extremely popular with supporters and his fellow players.

He has had a distinguished career in the Lilywhite Jersey, making his debut in 2013 and winning an under 21 Leinster Championship in the same year and the Tailteann Cup in 2025. He was nominated for GAA All Star awards in 2017, 2018 and 2021.

Daniel has always been known for his ability to produce a piece of magic that could light up any game. Who can ever forget that incredible goal he scored against Dublin in Croke Park in the Leinster Final in 2021!

He will be greatly missed on the pitch by all those who support and follow Kildare GAA. One of life’s true gentlemen!

We wish Daniel all the very best for the next chapter in his life."
