FINN Harps defender Stephen Folan has confirmed his retirement from the game.

Folan is just 29, but has been beset by injuries since pre-season.

The Galway man was recruited by Ollie Horgan in July 2020 following a spell in Australia.

Folan also spent time with Dundalk, Limerick, Sligo Rovers, Cork City and Galway United.

“I have decided to call time on my playing career due to injury,” Folan said.

I have decided to call time on my playing career due to injury, I want to thank @FinnHarpsFC for all they have done for me to date, a fantastic club with even better people, I loved every minute of playing in the league of Ireland for all the clubs I played for it was an honour
