In a statement on social media, Murphy said: “The time has come to announce my retirement from the Kilkenny senior team.
“For as long as I can remember it has been my dream to hurl for Kilkenny and I am proud to say that I lived that dream.
“It has been a privilege to not hurl with but against some of the greatest players to have ever played the game.”
An honour and a privilege. Sin é!🖤💛 pic.twitter.com/2JNBU5bx8a
