Barry Moran has played his last game for the Mayo senior football team.

The Castlebar Mitchels clubman is retiring from the inter-county scene.

According to Midwest Radio, the 32-year-old plans to travel abroad due to work commitments and has informed manager Stephen Rochford of his decision.

A towering figure at midfield or full-forward, Moran made his debut with the county seniors in 2005 and went on to play in four All-Ireland SFC finals, winning six Connacht SFC titles along the way.

He will continue to line-out with his club as they bid for a four-in-a-row of Mayo SFC titles this season.

Meanwhile, Moran's namesake and team-mate Andy will take his time on deciding his Mayo future.
