Kildare star Daniel Flynn has retired from intercounty football. The Johnstownbridge man was one of the most exciting players to ever pull on a white jersey with a dazzling mix of pace and skill in possession. Flynn is one of the most popular figures in Kildare GAA thanks to an aspirational level of talent and an aspirational level of class that has served him so well while representing his county.
Kildare GAA extended a message alongside the news, "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 2019!
"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."
