AIDAN Breen, a “brilliant servant to his county” has retired from inter-county football after more than a decade of full-blooded commitment for Fermanagh.
A veteran of over 100 games for his county since he made his debut in against St Mary’s University in the McKenna Cup in 2011, the Tempo Maguires clubman has been a loyal servant for Fermanagh over 14 seasons.
A hard-working and fully-committed player with pace, stamina and an eye for a score, Breen was ever-present in Fermanagh’s run to the Ulster final in 2018 and scored two vital points as the Ernemen saw off fancied Monaghan at the semi-final stage.
He reached a century of appearances in the green and white jersey against Westmeath in 2022 and his last action for the Ernemen came in the victory over Carlow at Dr Cullen Park last season.
“Aidan has been a brilliant servant to our county since he made his senior debut,” said Fermanagh manager Kieran Donnelly.
“His levels of performance were always of the highest standard renowned for chipping in with some big scores throughout his career.
“You always knew that you would get 100 per cent commitment from ‘Breeno’ and it was his selfless attitude that made him such a valuable teammate and an ever-present in the green jersey. The squad and county will miss him going forward but we wish him all the best for the future.”
