The All-Ireland winner has been part of Tyrone's squad this season, featuring in their Ulster Championship win against Cavan but informed the panel that he would be stepping away ahead of the All-Ireland series. And McShane has taken to social media to speak publicly for the first time about his shock departure. Posting on X, he said: "Would like to thank everyone for their kind messages of support over the past week - hasn't gone unnoticed and means a lot. Time to take a break and reset - let's see what the future holds." The departure comes after McShane was left out of the panel for the Ulster semi-final loss to Tyrone but his experience will still be a big loss to the Tyrone camp. The Owenroes forward was the top scorer for the 2019 All-Ireland campaign, in which he won an All-Star. McShane suffered a serious ankle injury the following year but remained instrumental coming off the bench for Tyrone in their 2021 All-Ireland winning campaign.
