Micheál Donoghue has stepped down as Dublin senior hurling team manager.

The Clarinbridge clubman, who guided Galway to All-Ireland glory in 2017, was in charge of Dublin for the past two years.

A Dublin GAA statement released on Thursday evening confirmed Donoghue's decision. “I have informed the Dublin County Board that I am stepping down as Dublin Senior Hurling Manager," Donoghue said.

“I would like to thank the panel and backroom team for their tireless work over the past two years. I was very fortunate to work with a very talented panel of players and I look forward to watching their progress over the coming seasons.

“I also thank the Dublin County Board officers and staff for their support and help. And I also want to acknowledge the support of clubs across the county and supporters during my tenure.

“I wish Dublin hurling every success in the future.”
