The four-time All-Ireland winner was a popular figure on and off the field throughout his Kerry career.
His decision to step away brings an incredible career to a close. Several former team-mates and pundits have been among those to pay tribute to Donaghy since the news broke.

Well done @starryboy14 . Easy to enjoy the afterlife after everything you have given. Legend . Fair play.
The best teammate I ever had bar none. The ultimate team player. Never gave up. Was never beaten. And he was some craic in the dressing room as well. Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís ! pic.twitter.com/um0dUgVZcc
He wasn’t called the ‘ Star ‘ for no reason, epitomised everything about being a kerry legend on & off the field, safe to say we got to know each other very well inside the white lines in training for years 🤔all for the kerry cause,only one ⭐️.Friend for life 💚💛@starryboy14pic.twitter.com/oZPNeDERFI

What a journey it’s been with this guy! The big man with the most infectious personality. Lucky enough to play with some legends & he is one of them but he’s out on his own as the best teammate you could ever have. Thanks @starryboy14 💚💛 pic.twitter.com/v8nveqawz8
