GAA.ie reports that All-Star forward Stephen O’Neill, 30, has informed Mickey Harte that he has no intention of hanging up his boots just yet and will be available for next year’s league and Championship campaigns.

The panel’s other veterans — Brian Dooher (35), Ryan McMenamin (33), Brian McGuigan (31), Philip Jordan (31), Owen Mulligan (30) and Conor Gormley (30) — are yet to make a decision on their future.
