Waterford footballer Jason Curry has confirmed his retirement from intercounty football.

The news was shared in a post following an interview by Smaller Fish GAA, bringing an end to Curry’s long spell with the Déise.

Curry said the decision had been discussed with Waterford manager Ephie Fitzgerald last year and was handled quietly.

‘It was just a chat myself and Ephie had last year, he was understanding of the decision and we just left it at that.

‘There was no need to be making big statements, there wasn’t anyone going to be too concerned about it.’

Curry spent his intercounty career representing Waterford while also balancing the demands of Gaelic football with his work as a dairy farmer.

He regularly juggled training and match commitments with farming responsibilities throughout his time with the county.

Curry played his entire intercounty career in Division 4 and was known for his long-term commitment to the Waterford jersey.
