Austin Gleeson leaves Waterford hurling panel

Austin Gleeson says the door has been left open for him to return to the Waterford hurling panel at any time.

The 2016 hurler of the year has decided to opt out of Davy Fitzgerald’s squad for 2024.

Gleeson says he hopes a break from the inter-county scene will revive his appetite for the game, and insists his relationship with Fitzgerald is a good one.
