Tadhg O’Rourke has announced his retirement from inter-county football.

The Tulsk man made his senior inter-county football debut against Tyrone in Division 1 of the Allianz Football League in 2017 and went on to represent Roscommon 70 times.

During his time with the Roscommon senior team, Tadhg won two Connacht Senior Football Championships (2017, 2019) and two National Football League Division 2 titles (2018,2020). 

Tadhg represented his county with distinction whenever he took to the pitch.

Roscommon GAA Chairperson, Brian Carroll said: “On behalf of everyone in Roscommon GAA I wish to thank Tadhg for his dedication and commitment to the primrose and blue for many years at underage and senior level. Tadgh was a mighty leader both on and off the pitch and always wore the jersey with great pride and honesty on each of his 70 appearances for our senior team. I wish Tadhg and his family the very best in the future and thanks for all the memories.”
