Pat Spillane has said he doesn’t see Michael Murphy returning to Donegal next season, after coming out of retirement once before to help his county.
The 36-year-old famously came out of retirement last year after two seasons and helped Donegal to an Ulster SFC, as well as making the All-Ireland final, and was even nominated for Footballer of the Year that season.
The 2012 All-Ireland-winning captain has played a big part in the Donegal team since his return, but after a disappointing loss to Dublin last week, Pat Spillane thinks Murphy will call it a day on his illustrious career.
‘Michael Murphy is a legend of the game. He’s been one of the greatest players of the modern era. He’s an inspiration on the field, off the field,’ Spillane told the Indo GAA podcast.
'He drives standards, he’s a leader, but unfortunately, time and tide wait for no man, and I couldn’t imagine him being back next year.’
‘It’s when you’re hated by all the opposition supporters, in a funny, perverse way, that’s praise, that’s realising how important a player he is. I know we talk about warriors, but Jesus, he was some warrior. People talk about players’ personalities, and Michael off the field is such a quiet, unassuming, gentle giant.’
Pat Spillane added: ‘Michael Murphy, when he went on to the field, was transformed into the Incredible Hulk. He was a guy who wanted a battle.’
‘A guy who was winning at all costs, a guy who played on the edge and sometimes strayed past it, but that’s what great sportspeople and achievers do. An amazing man, a great man.’
Donegal’s season came to an early end last weekend with that defeat to Dublin, and they will need to regroup before next season, with many saying the side wore out too soon in the season. If Michael Murphy were to retire this summer, it would surely leave Jim McGuinness’ men with an ever bigger mountain to climb.

🌡️ TEMPERATURES COULD CLIMB TO 34C ON THURSDAY WITH A NEW HIGH TEMPERATURE RECORD SET 🌡️
Thursday is projected to be the warmest day of 2026, and possibly the hottest ever recorded in Ireland, surpassing the current record of 33.3°C set in Kilkenny back in 1887.
The highest temperatures are expected in the west, midlands, and north, with Northern Ireland also potentially setting a new temperature record. Latest high-resolution models suggest we could see temperatures reaching 34°C, so I will be keeping an eye on the weather stations as the day progresses.
There's still a chance for thunderstorms, which could occur almost anywhere if the atmospheric conditions allow for it. The northwest appears to be a hotspot, especially in areas like Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, and Mayo, which may experience long-duration severe thunderstorms with frequent lightning.
For those wondering about the timing, storms could develop anytime from tomorrow afternoon into Friday morning. I think some storms will start forming in the northwest tomorrow evening and slowly move northward as they intensify.
