Waterford native Daryl Murphy announces retirement from international football

Daryl Murphy has announced his retirement from international football.

The 34-year-old Nottingham Forest striker, who scored both goals in Ireland's 2-nil win over Moldova in October last year, says it was a 'really tough decision' but feels 'the time is right'.

Waterford-native Murphy has opted to end his international career as manager Martin O'Neill intends to use younger players in the qualifying campaign for Euro 2020.
